Long hours, tight deadlines, and endless screen time, it's no wonder workplace stress is one of the leading causes of tension headaches in the UK.

These headaches, often described as a tight band around the head, can be triggered by muscle tension in the neck and shoulders, poor posture, and prolonged mental strain.

While many people turn to painkillers for quick relief, acupuncture offers a natural, non-invasive alternative that addresses the root causes of tension headaches.

By targeting specific points on the body, acupuncture helps relax muscle tightness, improve blood flow, and calm the nervous system. This not only eases immediate discomfort but also reduces the frequency of headaches over time.

At True Physio Congleton, acupuncture is often recommended as part of a holistic treatment plan for workplace-related stress. It can be particularly effective when combined with other therapies such as physiotherapy or massage, helping to break the cycle of tension, pain, and anxiety that can affect both productivity and overall wellbeing.

Ben Ratcliffe, clinic manager and physiotherapist at True Physio, explains: "Whether you're a teacher, a warehouse worker, or a digital marketing consultant, workplace stress can take a serious toll on your body. Acupuncture gives us a powerful tool to not only relieve headaches but also support long-term mental and physical health."

For Congleton residents, investing in treatments that tackle stress at its source can be life-changing, both inside and outside the workplace. If tension headaches are holding you back, acupuncture could be the key to feeling clearer, calmer, and more energised throughout the day.
