Keep getting bad headaches that won't go away?
Physical therapy can be an effective treatment for chronic headaches, especially if they are related to muscle tension, posture issues, or physical strain.
Chronic headaches often stem from problems in the neck, shoulders, or back, and physical therapists are trained to address these underlying issues.
Treatment Methods
- Cervical and thoracic spine manipulation consists of a physical therapist manipulating (hearing an audible pop or crack) your neck and back to move in a way that releases the stress and tension within that region, abolishing your headache symptoms.
- Strengthening exercises help to retrain the deep stabilizers in your back and neck to put less stress on the upper cervical region.
- Dry needling therapy includes the insertion of thin needles into soft tissues that have been shown to refer pain to the head and neck relieving tension.
- Abolishing these headaches may be as simple as combining postural corrections with these manual techniques in order to reduce the constant stress in your upper cervical region.
