Headache Treatment

Tens of millions of Americans suffer from headaches. Headaches may be mildly annoying (tension or sinus) or completely debilitating (migraines, cluster-type).

Headache Treatment Benefits

Physical therapy can involve stretching and guidance on body mechanics as well as posture. This can help people position their head and neck in a better way, minimizing tension and odd positioning. In turn, the muscles are not as strained or tense, potentially helping to reduce migraine symptoms.

Physical therapy has been proven to:

  • Decrease or resolve the intensity, frequency, and duration of headaches.
  • Decrease medication use.
  • Improve function and mobility.
  • Improve ease of motion in the neck.
  • Improve quality of life.

Headache Treatment Techniques

While there is no single treatment that can eliminate every headache, all types are treatable. Symptoms and pain can often be reduced with manual physical therapy techniques, biofeedback and OTC medications such as aspirin or ibuprofen. We also emphasize patient education. The more you know and understand about your body and condition, the better able you are to participate in the physical therapy process for better, longer-lasting results.
