How can you relieve neck tension headaches?

In: Conditions and Diseases, Head Ears and Nose, Headaches [Edit categories]

Answer:

I would suggest changing the way you sleep at night to find something that supports your neck better. You can also stretch your neck out by first letting your head completely hang toward the floor and then rolling it first to the right in a full circle, and then back to the left in another full circle. Another possibility is getting someone to rub your neck to loosen the muscles. Also try to lessen the amount of activities that you do that create that tension.
