Do you ever notice your shoulders tightening, your jaw clenching, or a dull ache creeping up the back of your neck after a long day? You’re not alone. Stress-related tension headaches are one of the most common reasons Boise-area patients visit us at Elevation Health Center — especially this time of year.
Here’s what’s really happening:
When you’re under constant stress, your body reacts by tightening muscles — especially in your neck and shoulders. This tension pulls on your spine and misaligns the vertebrae, which irritates the surrounding nerves and creates that familiar “band of pressure” around your head.
At Elevation Health Center, we combine gentle adjustments with practical self-care steps you can use at home:
✅ Posture and stretching exercises to reduce daily strain.
✅ Breathing techniques to calm your nervous system.
✅ Stress management and ergonomic advice to prevent recurrence.
You don’t have to keep reaching for pain relievers or “pushing through” the discomfort. Your body is built to heal — it just needs the right support.
