Home Treatment for Repetitive Stress Injury

On Monday I wrote about headaches caused by eyestrain, but clearly there are many other kinds of headaches.

Most common are tension headaches, caused by tense shoulders and neck muscles.  Tension headaches manifest with these symptoms, according to Safe Computing Tips:

• Pain at the base of the skull
• Aches behind the eye sockets
• Sore shoulder muscles or neck muscles

Stress and tension aren’t the only cause of headaches — hormone changes, acute stress, dehydration or diet triggers like red wine or chocolate can also cause you pain and headaches.

So the best way to prevent headaches, besides learning eye exercises? Make sure to eat healthy, drink enough water, and stay stress-free by getting exercise and using an ergonomic workstation. Read more over at Bella Online.
