According to PENNASIA normalization, headache happen due to uneven stretching, elasticity and density level, so the flow of any liquid in blood vessel or lymphatic flow in one part and another one is not same. The part with more density enables happening of substance hoarding from liquid behind it. The decrease of elasticity increases the level of nerve sensitivity and responses from some influences. The sensitivity shows the defect and the disturbed area. If disturbance happens to neck and occipitalis ( the area between neck and back of head), it will affect the decrease of blood flow speed and impurities, such as rest of burning, lactic acid, uric acid, cholesterol, triglyceride, excessive glucose or salt gets sediment or attached to internal partition of artery or vein.
