Muscle spasm: Chronic pain back of head, behind ear(s), oft due to muscle spasm, especially superior trapezius. Commonly, tender spot found at skull base. Pain pattern called muscle tension headache. Relief provided by massage & acupuncture. In many, I have observed chronic head tilting from functional scoliosis due to unilateral pelvic girdle sacroiliac joint instability; gillets, gaeslens & fortin signs +.
