Do your headaches build throughout the day—then sometimes turn into a migraine?
In this episode of the Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves explains why tension headaches and migraines may not be two completely separate problems. A band-like headache, neck tightness, and shoulder tension can build over time, while a more irritated joint in the upper neck may create a sharper, one-sided migraine pattern.
Rather than treating one as a muscle problem and the other as a neurological problem, Dr. Taves looks at both through one unified lens: the mechanics of the neck, shoulders, and jaw.
You’ll learn:
Why tension headaches often worsen throughout the day
How prolonged sitting and forward posture load the neck and shoulders
Why a broad, band-like headache feels different from a one-sided migraine
How both patterns may still come from related mechanical problems
Practical ways to reduce tension, move more, and build resilience
Plus, in this week’s Ask the Headache Doctor segment, Dr. Taves answers questions about headaches after sitting through several classes, migraines that continue despite healthy lifestyle changes, and being told migraines are “all stress.”
