A member asked:

My tension headaches seem to be accompanied by knots in the back of my head. why is this ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Muscle spasm: Tension headaches are associated with muscle spasm. When you feel the knots, it is a sign of muscle spasm. Try warm compresses or massage. You may have injured your neck which is causing the muscles to spasm. Try massage therapy.
