Osteopaths are highly trained to treat headaches in both adults and children. Tension-type headaches, migraine and cervicogenic headaches are common types of headaches that can often respond very well to osteopathic treatment. These headaches can be caused by tension and strain in the muscles and joints of the neck. Headaches can vary in frequency and intensity and can sometimes be debilitating and impact daily life. Osteopathic treatment will always aim to address the underlying causes of the headaches and may involve a variety of techniques, including spinal manipulation, soft tissue massage, stretching and rehabilitation exercises.
At Better Health Osteopathy, we provide a holistic approach to treating headaches, including migraines, tension-type headaches, and cervicogenic headaches. Our treatment focuses not only on alleviating immediate symptoms but also on addressing the underlying causes to promote overall health and well-being.
Our approach is deeply patient-centered. We collaborate closely with each individual to develop a customised treatment plan tailored to their specific needs and conditions. We carefully consider factors such as the type and severity of the headache, whether it’s a migraine, tension-type, or cervicogenic headache, along with the patient’s medical history and other relevant details. This thorough assessment ensures that we determine the most effective course of action for each patient.
Osteopathic treatment aims to relieve muscle tension, improve neck mobility, and enhance circulation to the tissues in the neck, all crucial factors in managing migraines, tension-type headaches, and cervicogenic headaches. Our treatment may involve a variety of manual techniques, such as spinal manipulation, soft tissue massage, and stretching, all designed to reduce muscle tension, improve neck function, and provide relief from headache symptoms.
Beyond manual techniques, our osteopaths may recommend rehabilitation programs that address contributing factors such as poor posture, stress, inadequate office ergonomics, common triggers for migraines, tension-type headaches, and cervicogenic headaches. By addressing these underlying causes, our treatment aims to provide long-term relief and prevent future headache occurrences.
Our osteopaths are skilled in treating patients of all ages, from children to adults and the elderly, who are experiencing migraines, tension-type headaches, or cervicogenic headaches. We understand that each patient is unique, and we conduct a thorough assessment to determine the suitability of osteopathic treatment for each individual. Whether you suffer from migraines, tension-type headaches, or cervicogenic headaches, we are here to help you find lasting relief.
