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.
