With all severe or prolonged headaches and migraines, people naturally gravitate towards checking their blood pressure, brain, vision, ear, hormones, stress, medication, the food they eat or hydration levels. But one key body part is often missed in assessment or treatment, and that is the neck.
Now for some people their neck is involved in their headaches and migraines as symptoms develop in the neck region along with their headaches and migraines. And for others it is not so clear as there are no significant symptoms in the neck along with the headaches and migraines. Regardless of what the scenario is the neck is often not taken seriously in terms of assessment and treatment of headache and migraines. You may find someone that treats the neck for headaches and migraines, but they just cannot seem to hit the spot and create a change leading to ongoing pain and discomfort.
If what you have read so far sounds and this sounds like you then we have a solution here at Physio Ready.
At Physio Ready our physiotherapists have undertaken special headache treatment training to treat headaches and migraines by looking at the:
- Neck
- Visual control
- Balance
With special testing methods and treatment methods we can deliver results for your headaches and migraines.
So how will this treatment help?
We will take objective measurements to after each treatment technique to find and record change in the neck, visual control, and balance on day 1 and regularly measure as we go through treatment.
And we also measure things like:
- How often you get the headaches and migraines?
- How long they last for?
- How intense the symptoms are?
- How much medication you take to relieve your symptoms?
We would look for all these things metrics to decrease with our treatments. The treatment methods involve no bone cracking (manipulations), medication or any harm.
How long will it take?
Results often show after 5 sessions but ongoing sessions may be required depending on the severity and complexity.
