Headaches and migrains
Expert care at our physiotherapy boutique clinic
This is a common issue for many of our patients. Most have already been to their doctor before seeing us, and they can’t find a cause. Often, there is no medical reason and the headache can just be tension related.
Many people with headaches are carrying a lot of tension in their neck and upper back. Studies show life stress or complex work tasks increase neck tension. Or simply a repetitive job like working on a desk allows the tension to build slowly over time until you get a headache.
Our team of physiotherapists have training to help people with headaches. This involves specialist hands-on techniques to relieve the pressure that can cause headaches.
After a full assessment, some specific exercises can be prescribed to help keep the tension from building up between appointments. This allows us to give you the best possible care as well as educating you to provide you with tools to make sure you help prevent future flair ups.
Headaches and migraines can be debilitating, impacting your daily life and overall well-being. At our physiotherapy clinic, we specialize in providing expert care to alleviate headaches and migraines, helping you regain control of your life and improve your quality of life.
Our experienced physiotherapists understand the complexities of headaches and migraines, which can be caused by various factors including tension, stress, poor posture, and neck problems. We offer personalised treatment plans tailored to your specific needs, ensuring effective and lasting relief.
Our comprehensive approach to treating headaches and migraines includes:
1- Thorough Assessment: We begin with a detailed assessment to identify the root causes of your headaches or migraines. This involves evaluating your medical history, lifestyle, posture, and the nature of your symptoms.
2- Manual Therapy: Our skilled physiotherapists use hands-on techniques to relieve tension, improve blood flow, and reduce pain. Manual therapy can help release tight muscles and correct misalignments in the neck and upper back, common sources of headaches and migraines.
3- Targeted Exercises: We design specific exercise programs to strengthen the muscles supporting your neck and improve your posture. These exercises help reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches and migraines by addressing underlying muscular imbalances and promoting better alignment.
4- Education and Prevention: We believe in empowering our patients with knowledge. Our physiotherapists guide ergonomic adjustments, stress management techniques, and lifestyle changes to prevent the recurrence of headaches and migraines.
5- Advanced Techniques: Depending on your condition, we may incorporate advanced therapies such as acupuncture, dry needling, or electrotherapy to enhance pain relief and promote healing.
6- Personalized Care: Our clinic prides itself on offering a high level of personalized attention. Our goal is to ensure that each patient receives the care and support they need to achieve optimal recovery and long-term relief from headaches and migraines.
7- Headaches and migraines should not dictate the quality of your life: At our physiotherapy clinic, we are committed to helping you find relief and regain your vitality. Our dedicated team is here to support you every step of the way with expert care and personalized treatment.
