Headaches:
A common source of pain treated by physiotherapy. A lot of people suffer from migraine or are diagnosed with migraine (sometimes inappropriately). Often there is a strong link with the neck particularly whereby symptoms appear to be localised to one side of the head or certainly start one sided even if they spread. In cases whereby patients do actually suffer from the full blown recognised symptoms of migraine, it is thought that in the presence of neck stiffness and more particularly muscular tightness, the threshold for the onset of migraine is severely lowered. Appropriate assessment and treatment of the neck/spinal alignment and habits can help significantly control this threshold and aid with healing.
