What is the fastest way to relieve a tension headache?
In my experience, most tension headaches originate from the suboccipital muscles at the base of your skull and where the trapezius muscles insert. Try stretching, heat, and massaging READ MORE
In my experience, most tension headaches originate from the suboccipital muscles at the base of your skull and where the trapezius muscles insert. Try stretching, heat, and massaging the trapezius and suboccipital muscles. If that doesn’t work, try ice at the base of the skull. Manipulation of the upper neck by a skilled healthcare provider such as a chiropractor is also very effective at reducing tension headaches. Ibuprofen or acetaminophen can also be very helpful if you can take that. Try to relax and calm the nervous system.
I hope this info is helpful.
Take care and be well.

Where do you massage for a tension headache?
Start with stretching and massaging the trapezius muscles starting at the top of the upper back/shoulders and then into the neck up to the base of the skull where the trapezius READ MORE
Start with stretching and massaging the trapezius muscles starting at the top of the upper back/shoulders and then into the neck up to the base of the skull where the trapezius muscles insert. May headaches originate at the base of the skull in the muscles called the suboccipital muscles. The greater occipital nerve comes from this area to supply the top of the head. Massage of this area and manipulation of the upper and lower neck is usually very helpful for headaches. Hope it helps. Take care and be well.

When should I be concerned about calf pain?

You should be concerned about the origin of the pain. Was there an injury or excessive workout? That would relate more to the muscle. Did the pain in the calf come on slowly or after prolonged bed rest with swelling, redness, and tenderness to squeeze? There may be a blood clot. At your age, I would assume it is more likely just a strain and it should resolve with ice and stretching over the next 4 weeks. if not, consult a physician to get it properly diagnosed.

It sounds as if you strained the Achilles tendon a little. I would recommend stretching the calf muscles and Achilles tendon, contrasting ice and heat at this point, and start doing some toe raises to exercise the calf muscles. Be careful with the running and try to ice afterward. If it is still bothering you 6 weeks after the injury, then see a physician to get it checked out.
Take care and good luck.

Muscle between my thumb and index finger?
It does look really swollen. You should get an examination to determine if it is related to the soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, or ligaments or if there is a bony problem READ MORE
It does look really swollen. You should get an examination to determine if it is related to the soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, or ligaments or if there is a bony problem in that area. After the exam, an x-ray may be necessary to rule out any bone changes. I would think if the swelling was just some simple inflammation from sprain/strain, it would have gone down after 6 months. Better get it checked out!

You may have strained an abdominal muscle or caused an abdominal hernia. If the bump is pretty big, it is probably a hernia. You should see a physician as soon as possible to make sure that if it is a hernia, it is not getting strangulated. Does the bump get bigger when you increase abdominal strain like doing a situp? If it does, it's probably a hernia. I hope you find this info helpful. Take care and be well.

First, a chiropractor should be able to diagnose the cause of your back pain. Back pain is not normal. There is a problem causing the symptoms. Second, a good chiropractor should be able to suggest an appropriate, effective treatment plan to fix the cause of your symptoms. A combination of manipulation, stretching, muscle work and physical therapy modalities
should be able to resolve your symptoms and fix the cause. If not, pain management and/or surgery may be necessary. Try conservative treatment first, surgery only if necessary.

In my experience as a Chiropractic Physician for over 30 years, I can attest that Chiropractic manipulation of the neck for most causes of neck pain is the absolute best. If there is a severe disc bulge or herniation, then it is not recommended. A combination of manipulation, muscle stretching, trigger point therapy and maybe traction will resolve most cases of neck pain. If it doesn't work, a referral to an ortho for surgical consult is usually warranted. Try Chiropractic first!

Can you go to a chiropractor once?
You can go to a chiropractor one time, but that may not fix the problem. It really depends on the problem. Is it acute or chronic? Is it a simple fixation or is the entire pelvis READ MORE
You can go to a chiropractor one time, but that may not fix the problem. It really depends on the problem. Is it acute or chronic? Is it a simple fixation or is the entire pelvis and spine misaligned? I have had several patients that came in and felt better after the first adjustment, but I have had many that were still symptomatic even after several treatments. It is best to get an exam and get a proper diagnosis with a treatment plan and try it out. Your body is yours. You can discontinue treatment anytime you like.
