Headaches are horrible! Getting them diagnosed correctly is vital to understanding the best way to treat them. Luckily, you’re in good hands.

We’ll ask about other related symptoms, medication and general health and diet. The physical examination and treatment will differ between different professions.

Osteopathy

Whether it’s structural Osteopathy, or Cranial, we can be very helpful for headaches. Often we see patients who have issues with their neck and shoulders, causing tension in the muscles which travel through the neck and into the back off the skull. These muscles will literally pull down on the tissues through the head an face- causing tension type headaches. Releasing the neck and muscle tension will often help the headache. After this, we would help our patients with self management strategies to avoid the chance of the headache reoccurring.

Sports Therapy

Sports Massage therapy is a great option for someone suffering with headaches. Your therapist will work in a similar way to the Osteopaths when diagnosing the cause of the issue. Following this, they’ll use their skills to reduce tension in all the relevant muscles an reduce the headache and help you with ways to keep it all feeling loose.

Acupuncture

Headaches can often be stress induced. After excluding all worrying causes of headache, your Acupuncturist will help the wellness of your entire system to reduce stress and promote health. Acupuncture can also aid in the reduction of muscle tension through the face, head, neck and shoulders.
