A member asked:
Can you get brain damage from tic where you jerk your head back and forth pretty quickly, but short distance, frequently for months till head aches?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't think so: The brain is by design provided with the equivalent of a bubble wrap cushion within the skull. The short distance that such tics would throw the head will not generate enough pressure to disturb the contents. Fatigue within the muscles surrounding the skull would be an easy cause of a headache.
