A member asked:
If you have tension headaches emanating from neck/back muscle strain, what is the best way to sit and hold your posture so as not to aggravate it more? straight up? or should i have support?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fine to try having good posture, but real concern might involve neck problems, such as cervical spondylosis or degenerative disc disease. Discuss with your doctor as simple imaging may reveal cause, and perhaps physical therapy can stabilize your symptoms.
