Many people with chronic headaches and migraines do not know there are options for relief outside of injections and daily medications. If you suffer from headaches and you are sick of the medications or your at home stretching routine isn't cutting it anymore, our therapists can help you with relief! Whether you suffer from cervicogenic headaches, migraines, or tension headaches, we have options for you.
Dry Needling
According to studies, trigger points in the area where the skull joins the spine may contribute to migraine symptoms and pain. Muscle tension in the upper back, shoulders, and neck muscles may also contribute to migraine. Dry needling helps reduce pain and range of motion in the short term and may reduce the intensity, duration, and frequency of headaches in the future. It is referred to as “dry” needling because there is no solution injected. Most patients experience immediate relief with little side effects.
Manual Therapy & Mobilization
Hands-on manual therapy releases tight or stiff muscles and trigger points. While not all headaches and migraines stem from muscular issues, there is evidence to show that physical therapy can help with migraines that can stem from associated stiff muscles and joints. Our therapists are specially trained and certified in different manual therapy techniques that we can customize to your pain.
Postural Education
Whether it’s for work or school, or to relax at night, many of us feel tied to our computer screens and desks. Long periods of sitting and increased time using technology can have negative impacts on posture, and neck pain, and lead to headaches, including migraine. Sometimes called “stress headaches,” they are all too common in adults but fortunately preventable. Correcting posture could be one measure that is useful in cutting down the frequency or severity of these episodes. Our therapists are posture experts and can help you with tip, exercises, and stretches to correct your posture.
Yes, physical therapy can be an effective tool in managing chronic pain by addressing the underlying causes and improving function and overall well-being through exercise, manual therapy, and education.
Chronic pain can significantly impact your body, leading to physical limitations, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and even affecting your mental health, potentially leading to depression and anxiety.
Physical therapy works very well for many types of back pain. But many people with chronic symptoms find their therapy works well in conjunction with other nonsurgical pain management treatments, like laser therapy, nerve blocks, and anti-inflammatory medicines.
You should consider seeing a physical therapist for back pain if it persists for more than a few weeks, is severe, interferes with daily activities, or doesn't improve with home remedies, or if you experience radiating pain or numbness.
