Headache & Migraine treatment

Headache & Migraine treatment

Evaluation and treatment of Headaches and Migraines with symptoms such as throbbing or pulsing pain is associated with migraine while pressure or “vice-like” pain is typically associated with tension headaches. In these headaches, the severity may vary from mild to severe. Cluster headache is stabbing, piercing, and severe. Sinus headaches are described as pressure and pain behind the eyes, along the cheeks, or in the areas of the upper teeth and forehead.

Types of Headaches we treat:

 Migraine Headache

Sinus Headache

Tension Headache

Cluster Headache

Mixed or Mixed Tension Migraine

Areas of Pain that we treat:

Forehead: Headaches that occur along both sides of the forehead are often tension headaches or sinus headaches. If the pain is one-sided, then migraine or cluster headache may be more likely.

Top of head: Pain along the top of the head is non-specific and can be seen with tension headaches as well as migraine headaches.

Back of head: Headache pain occurring along the back of the head is often associated with tension headache, especially if spasms of the neck or cervical spinal muscles are identified.

Side of head: Pain on the side of the head can be associated with migraine headaches, especially if the pain is one-sided or unilateral. Very severe pain on one side of the head may suggest cluster headache. Tension headache can cause pressure and pain along both sides of the head.

Behind eye: Pain located behind one eye can be seen with migraine headache.

How we treat the Headache & Migraines:

Through targeted massage, manual therapy, Myofunctional therapy, Cranio-cervical and Cranio-sacral therapy we are able to reduce the muscle spasms and misalignment that causes the Headaches & Migraines.
