Q. I have a tight, band-like pressure around my head, and a pulling sensation in the back of my neck (Tension-type headache).

A.

This is the most common type of headache, resulting from stress or poor posture that causes stiffness in the neck and shoulder muscles (such as the trapezius). Acupuncture and Chuna therapy are significantly more effective and quicker at relieving these stiff muscles than muscle relaxants.

📝 Detailed Answer

두통의 90%는 근육 문제로 인해 발생합니다.

  • 자세: 거북목 자세는 뒷목 근육을 과하게 잡아당겨 후두통을 유발합니다.
  • 스트레스: 긴장하면 어깨가 움츠러들고 목이 뻣뻣해지는데, 이것이 두통의 시작이 됩니다.
  • 치료: 뭉친 근육을 풀어주는 침, 부항 치료와 경추 교정(추나)을 병행하여 치료합니다.
💡 스트레칭

양손으로 뒤통수를 잡고 앞으로 지긋이 눌러 뒷목을 늘려주세요. 수시로 해주시면 두통 예방에 도움이 됩니다.
