Headaches or Migraines

Headaches and migraines are caused by many different things; however the vast majority of headaches and migraines are able to be relieved through osteopathic treatment.

This is because most headaches come from tension in the joints of your neck and the muscles surrounding these joints.  Your neck muscles and joints can become tense and restricted by hits, falls, stress (mental or emotional), bad pillows, bad posture (especially sitting at your desk), or even sensitivities to certain foods.

We can identify your tightened muscles and joints and loosen them with various manipulations. Many of these techniques are extremely gentle.  Headaches can also be caused by a restriction in the movement of the bones of your skull. While these bones don’t have a large movement, they do have a slight ‘give’ to them.

Osteopathic cranial techniques can address this loss of ‘give’ which can sometimes be a significant factor in headaches and migraines not being relieved by standard treatments.
