There are various different types that we might experience. Some of these types might include:
- Tension headaches
- Migraines
- Sinus headaches
- Cluster headaches
All of these types of headaches will generally present differently in where you feel them in your head. When it comes to headaches and healing them we often turn to over the counter pain medication. What if physical therapy could give you permanent relief?
Tension headaches and Rams Horn headaches are the most common ones that physical therapy can help the most with. These headaches will generally present with a pattern that is similar to a ram’s horn or like a crown around the head. They are usually the result of tension present at the base of the neck or due to poor posture or stress.
Physical Therapy can assist with these headaches through various forms of manual therapy, postural re-education, strengthening of surrounding support musculature and even dry needling. By helping correct muscle imbalances and postural correction can improve ability to complete occupational tasks and at home tasks.
