Physical Therapy for Headaches: Frequently Asked Questions
Can Physical Therapy Help with Headaches?
Yes! Headaches can occur for many reasons. The most common reasons include tension, neck muscle-related injuries, migraines, and underlying conditions such as infectious diseases and fever. While these are the most common reasons, many headaches occur from unknown sources. Our trained physical therapists can help assess and diagnose the root cause of your headaches. When this is done, our physical therapists can help develop a treatment plan aimed and combating your headaches from the source.
How Does Physical Therapy Help with Headaches?
Physical therapy has the potential to reduce the severity, frequency, and duration of headaches by identifying and reducing triggers. This can help decrease the need for medication, improve function and productivity, increase neck mobility, and enhance daily comfort.
What Type of Physical Therapy is Used?
Manual therapy and therapeutic exercises are frequently used to combat headaches. These methods are designed to reduce muscle and joint stiffness and alleviate tension. This helps increase circulation and reduces the frequency of tension-related headaches. Certain exercises have also been shown to decrease inflammation within the body and promote wellness, specifically helping the body heal and combat pain. When exercise is used to promote overall wellness, our patients have shown a reduction in headaches as well as other health benefits.
In addition to these therapeutic methods, educational interventions targeting sleep, nutrition, stress, and movement patterns have proven effective at reducing headache frequency, duration, and intensity. Our therapists will go over your unique lifestyle and patterns to identify any potential triggers and create a personalized strategy to help reduce the impact of headaches within your life.
