Headache Problems
Neck problems are usually related to pain and discomfort in the neck, although they can also include reduced range of neck motion. In addition, pain radiating from the neck can contribute to headache.
Headache problems can be attributed to a variety of causes, including:.
- Holding the head at an awkward angle for a prolonged period of time (such as trying to read small text on a screen or document).
- Squinting while trying to read text from a computer monitor or document.
- Frequent twisting of the neck in order to read source documents.
- Awkward sitting posture.
- Frequent and prolonged use of laptop or notebook computers.
- Neck pain.
Twisting the head and neck to view source documents can contribute to headache.
Possible accommodations for headache problems can include:
- Adjusting how you view source documents.
- Adjusting how you use a laptop or notebook computer.
- Applying ergonomic principles to your seating and positioning.
- Adjusting how you view a computer monitor.
