Many people suffer from headaches caused by muscle spasms between the base of the skull and the neck. If diagnosed and treated correctly, tension-type headaches can be alleviated rapidly.

Minor automobile accidents and falls can alter the intricate system of ligaments and muscles supporting the weight of your head. These types of injuries to ligament and tendon fibers often never heal properly; instead, the trauma may leave microscopic tears to remain. Poor posture and excessive typing causes a chronic strain which stretches the tissues. The brain stimulates the muscles to spasm in these weakened areas, which may then reduce artery, nerve, vein and lymphatic flow from the base of the skull. This may lead to headaches in the back of the neck and / or a tight band or vice-like feeling in the forehead that may or may not become worse with stress. Dr. Tallman utilizes Regenerative Injection Therapy (RIT) in candidate patients which will often result in a complete resolution of symptoms.
