A Headache<\/strong>, which is also known as cephalalgia, can be described as pain which occurs in any region of the head, and\/or neck. A headache can occur on 1 or both sides of your head, it can be isolated to a specific location, it can radiate across your head from 1 point, or can have a vise like quality.<\/div>\n

A headache can be characterized by a very sharp pain, with a throbbing sensation, or can be a dull ache. A headache can develop slowly or can be sudden. It can last for a few minutes, or even for several days. Headaches are very common, and almost everyone will have a headache at one point in their life.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Most headaches tend to disappear on their own, however, if your headache is severe and chronic, you may need have a musculoskeletal imbalance which requires correction.<\/p>\n
