This is what happens when stress-related headaches occur – it’s your body’s way of demonstrating a physical reaction to overwhelming stress. How can I tell if my headache is stress-related?

Your physical therapist can help you identify other headache triggers and suggest strategies for avoiding them in your everyday life.
