A headache is a symptom rather than a single condition. Its location, frequency, triggers and accompanying symptoms help determine what kind of assessment or care may be appropriate.
Look beyond one isolated trigger
Workstation habits, sleep, hydration, stress, visual load and neck movement can all be relevant parts of the conversation. Rather than assuming posture is the only cause, it is useful to understand how different factors interact.
An assessment may consider spinal movement, posture, muscle tension and neurological signs alongside your broader health history.
When a headache needs urgent attention
A sudden severe headache, headache following a head injury, or headache with confusion, weakness, fever, fainting, vision loss or difficulty speaking requires urgent medical assessment.
For recurring headaches without urgent warning signs, start by discussing the full pattern with a qualified healthcare professional.
