Headaches
Targeted, effective treatment for cervicogenic headaches and tension migraines. We address upper neck stiffness and posture to help reduce headache frequency and intensity.
About This Service
Headaches can be debilitating, and surprisingly often, they originate from the neck. Cervicogenic headaches are caused by dysfunction in the upper cervical spine, referring pain into the head and behind the eyes.
Our assessment differentiates between migraine, tension type, and cervicogenic headaches. For neck-related headaches, physiotherapy is highly effective. We treat the stiff joints in the upper neck and release the suboccipital muscles to reduce the referral of pain.
We also address posture and ergonomic factors that may be contributing to the sustained load on your neck muscles throughout the day.
