Headache Treatment
Target the root cause of tension and migraine headaches. Our therapy relieves pain, improves posture, and restores daily comfort. Personalized programs help reduce recurrence and enhance long-term wellbeing.
Types of Headaches We Treat
Not all headaches are the same. Our therapists are trained to assess and treat a variety of headache types, including:
Tension-type headaches
Cervicogenic headaches (originating from the neck)
Migraine and chronic migraine
Cluster headaches
Headaches associated with poor posture
Headaches following whiplash or head and neck injuries
Stress-related and hormonal headaches
How We Treat It
Your treatment plan is built around the specific triggers and physical findings identified during your assessment. Our approach typically includes:
Manual Therapy and Joint Mobilization: Hands-on techniques to release tension in the cervical spine and surrounding soft tissues, restoring natural movement and reducing referred pain patterns.
Trigger Point Release and Dry Needling: Targeted pressure or needling applied to active trigger points in the neck, shoulders, and base of the skull—a common driver of tension and cervicogenic headaches.
Postural Correction and Ergonomic Guidance: We identify postural habits contributing to your headaches and provide practical corrections for your sitting position, workstation setup, and daily movement patterns.
Therapeutic Exercise: A structured program to strengthen the deep neck flexors, improve thoracic mobility, and build the endurance needed to maintain good posture throughout the day.
Relaxation and Breathing Techniques: For stress-related or tension-driven headaches, we incorporate breathing retraining and relaxation strategies to reduce overall muscle tension and nervous system overactivity.

Can physical therapy really help with migraines?
Yes. While migraines have neurological components, many are significantly worsened by cervical tension, trigger points, and postural dysfunction. Physical therapy can reduce the frequency, intensity, and duration of migraines by addressing these physical contributors.
How soon will I notice improvement?
Many patients experience a reduction in headache frequency and intensity within the first few sessions. Full results depend on the type and chronicity of your headaches, and your therapist will give you a realistic timeline after your assessment.
Do I need to stop taking my medication during treatment?
Not at all. Physical therapy works alongside your existing medical management. We collaborate with your physician when appropriate to ensure a comprehensive and coordinated approach to your care.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies depending on how long you have been experiencing headaches and their underlying cause. Your therapist will outline a recommended plan following your initial evaluation.
