A large percentage of people suffer through headaches at such a high intensity that it affects their daily lives. If you are experiencing chronic headaches or migraines, physical therapy can treat your pain and get you back to doing the activities you love.
Renew Physical Therapy shares how physical therapy can help patients who suffer from headaches and migraine get relief:
- Determine the Root of Your Headaches: Oftentimes, headaches stem from underlying issues in your neck, back, and shoulders. Physical therapy is a holistic approach to help find the cause of your headaches. A physical therapist will ask you where and how often you are experiencing pain.
- Engage in Manual Therapy: Stretching and manual therapy treatments will improve your range of motion and strengthen your muscles to reduce pain and the frequency of your headaches. Physical therapy treatments can also relieve tension and correct postural issues that cause headaches.
- Adjust to Prevent Future Headaches: Stress, poor posture, eye strain, and sleeping in the wrong position can also trigger a headache. A physical therapist can teach you relaxation techniques and advise you to make adjustments to your office or workspace to prevent further tension.
If you suffer from chronic headaches and migraines, receive quality care through our Manual Therapy program at Renew Physical Therapy.
