TENS and Tension Headaches

What are Tension headaches?
Tension headaches are characterised by pain resulting from muscle tightening in the neck and head. The tightening leads to a slightly decreased blood flow to the surrounding areas and irritation of the pain fibers in the skin, muscles and blood vessel walls.

More than 90% of tension headaches occur on both sides of the head. The pain is usually dull and can build gradually throughout the day. Sleep often helps a tension headache but they are also known to continue into the night and even after waking up.

What is the best tension headache treatment? TENS or electro acupuncture?
TENS unit pain relief helps alleviate tension headaches but Body Clock recommends using electro-acupuncture. In particular the Stimplus or Stimplus Pro.These amazing devices apply the same principle as the age-old Chinese therapy of acupuncture, without piercing the skin!

The Stimplus finds acupoints, and then stimulates away pain electronically - without needles.
