What is the current thinking regarding Chronic Tension Type Headache?

@mbixler my daughter has cranial cervical instability and your description here is spot on. Hers was exacerbated by having the connective tissue disorder, Ehler Danlos.
I'd like to recommend getting MLS laser therapy on the back of your neck. It will tighten the ligaments in your neck and for mild - moderate cases can heal the instability. It has been a miracle for my daughter. Look for MLS cold laser therapy, also called class 4 (or higher) laser therapy, found with chiropractors or regenerative medicine centers. Costs about $50-70 per treatment, done twice a WK. Many people healed. Within 6-10 treatments.

@mensch00 Thanks for the info, but my issue is cervical dystonia - which is both a soft tissue and neurological disorder, and causes severe muscle spasms in the neck and upper back. The spasms clamp down on the bundles of nerves that go from the spine to the brain - through a notch in the skull called the occipital outlet. As long as the spasms continue the headaches do too. Botox stops those muscles from spasming for a three month period, with amazing relief. Because I also have an unstable spine caused by a serious rear end car accident, my neurologist is reluctant to play around with different therapies. I appreciate your advice though.
