Headaches & Migraines

WHAT ARE HEADACHES AND MIGRAINES?

Headaches and Migraines affect nearly half of the global population, most being insignificant and resolving on their own. While most resolve with time, they can become chronic and debilitating and a persistent source of discomfort.

Different types of headaches include Cervicogenic (neck), Tension, Migraines, or secondary to other underlying conditions. Our HealthQuest Physical Therapists can perform a clinical examination to help diagnose the problem and create a personalized treatment plan. With treatment, patients can expect to see a decrease in the frequency and intensity of headaches resulting in improvements to their quality of life.

COMMON CONDITIONS

we treat of headaches & migraines

Neck Pain & Stiffness

    Cervicogenic Headaches

    • Cervical Headaches have symptoms similar to the migraine, but the ache begins in the base of the skull and can move from place to place around the head. A cervical headache is caused by prolonged stress to the first three cervical joints of the neck.

    Migraines

      Herniated Discs

        Stenosis

          Arthritis

            Whiplash

              Dizziness, Double-vision & vertigo

                Postural Dysfunction

                • Postural Dysfunction is a common cause of headaches. The increased use of computers and extended periods of sitting often leads to muscle imbalances such as tightness in the chest and shoulders and weakness in the neck and postural muscles. Over time this can lead to a rounded shoulder and forward head posture which may result in joint irritation and significant headaches.

                Tension headaches

                • Tension Headaches affect both sides of the head, shoulders and neck. Symptoms may include persistent pain and feeling of pressure around the forehead. They can be caused by repetitive use of the arms, emotional or physical stress, poor posture while sitting, computer use and work activities.
