Understanding Headache Pain and Physical Therapy

Headache pain is a widespread condition affecting millions of patients globally. It can stem from various sources, including issues with the central nervous system, stress, and other factors like poor posture or repetitive strain. At our clinic, we provide comprehensive treatment plans that combine evidence-based physical therapy with personalized care to address different types of headaches.

Headache Types Treated with Physical Therapy

Our specialized physical therapists are skilled in managing:

• Tension headaches, often caused by muscle tension, poor alignment, and nerves under pressure.

• Cervicogenic headaches, which result from dysfunction in the neck muscles or spine.

• Migraine headaches, characterized by severe migraine symptoms like sensitivity to light, nausea, and throbbing pain.

• Secondary headaches as defined by the Headache Classification Committee of the International Headache Society.

What Causes Headache Pain?

Headaches can originate from a variety of sources, including tight muscles, stress, and poor alignment. Physical therapy addresses these root causes to provide lasting relief.

How Physical Therapy Reduces Headache Frequency

We use a combination of manual therapy, stretching, and strengthening exercises to address the root causes of headache pain. For example:

• Massage therapy and trigger point release alleviate tension in the upper trapezius and neck muscles.

• Relaxation techniques, including deep breathing exercises, reduce stress and promote calmness in the central nervous system.

• Postural corrections minimize strain caused by long hours at a computer screen or sedentary habits.

These interventions not only reduce headache frequency but also improve overall health and mobility.

Migraine Symptoms and Physical Therapy Solutions

Severe migraine symptoms, such as nausea and light sensitivity, can disrupt daily life. Physical therapy offers solutions to relieve pain and address underlying triggers.

Improving Posture to Prevent Headaches

Poor posture is a common contributor to headaches. Through postural training and targeted exercises, physical therapy can help prevent and manage headaches.

Research and Evidence-Based Treatment

Our approach is informed by the latest randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews, ensuring you receive care backed by science. These studies highlight the effectiveness of physical therapy in reducing headache frequency, managing migraine symptoms, and improving quality of life for patients.
