Screen Headaches, Jaw Clenching or Work Stress? What Can Help | South Edmonton

Work stress often shows up as headaches, a tight jaw or poor sleep. These answers cover options that may help you unwind and feel better.

I get headaches and eye strain from looking at screens. What helps?

Screen-related headaches often come from eye strain plus tight neck and shoulder muscles. Try the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds) and have your eyes checked. A head, neck and shoulder massage or acupuncture for headaches and tension may help ease the muscle side.

I'm stressed and burnt out from work. What would help me unwind?

Stress often shows up as tight shoulders, poor sleep and fatigue. Acupuncture for stress, anxiety and sleep, or a calming foot reflexology session, may help you relax and reset. If you are struggling with your mental health, please also reach out to your doctor or a mental health professional.

I clench my jaw when I'm concentrating at work. Can that cause pain?

Yes, clenching during focus or stress can tire the jaw muscles and contribute to headaches and jaw pain. TMJ massage may help relax the jaw.

Work stress is affecting my sleep. Can anything help?

Foot reflexology and acupuncture are popular with people who want to unwind and improve their sleep routine. They are not a treatment for sleep disorders, so see your doctor if poor sleep continues.
