Neck pain and shoulder pain lead to frequent headaches. If you suffer with frequent headaches, this isn't news for you. I rarely have "just a headache." I start with a crick in my neck, a tightness in my shoulder and a knot between my shoulder blades OR I wake up with a killer headache with a stiff neck and my shoulder all messed up. Having had migraines and tension headaches since I was a child, I seem to accept to readily that it's just another day with a headache. BUT...
sometimes we miss some obvious (or for those stubborn headache suffers, like me ~ less obvious) ways to not only relieve headaches but even prevent them.
Believe it or not, one source of shoulder and neck pain that leads to headaches for women and men is abdominal weight gain which puts your thoracic spine (between your shoulder blades) into overtime. We'll talk more about abdominal weight gain soon but for women there is solution for headaches that start in your shoulders and neck.
Women with abdominal weight gain often need more support for their back with a bra that fits well and makes it easier for your back to keep you upright. The best bra for chronic back pain, shoulder and neck pain that leads to frequent headaches is a sports bra.
In my journey to find a sports bra that will help me get my spine and neck straightened out, I discovered the one that works for me: full figure sports bra by Sassybax. Getting a bra that eases the strain on your spine is just one step closer to stopping frequent headaches for women.
Tell me, what have YOU found has eased your chronic headaches? I'm waiting to read your comments and resources.
