Tension Headaches

We work with you during our one on one treatment sessions to identify areas of need or concern, and then implement a plan of care that is specific and personalized to you.

There are many different types of headaches that physical therapists can help treat.

Cluster Headaches are typically one sided pain and can feel like it is behind areas of your face, neck, head, or eye.

Tension Headaches can feel like a tight band around your head, tenderness around the scalp, neck, or shoulder muscles.

Migraine Headaches can cause severe throbbing pain or a pulsing sensation usually on one side of the head that can have sensitivity to light and sound.

Physical therapy can help reduce headaches and restore function and movement through techniques such as specific exercises, concussion training, Graston, Trigger Point Dry Needling, Posture and Ergonomic assessment, McKenzie Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT), Active Release Techniques (ART), and many other specialized treatments. Each physical therapist works one on one with you for an hour treatment each time in order to create a specific plan of care and treatments tailored to your needs.
