PHYSIOTHERAPY CONDITIONS – HEAD PAIN

Cervicogenic Headache

  • Headaches starting from the neck are treated effectively through Physiotherapy manual therapy.

  • The pain usually radiates from the base of the skull, and Physiotherapy reduces tension and joint stiffness.

  • Posture correction and deep neck muscle activation are included in Physiotherapy to prevent recurrence.

Tension-Type Headache

  • Stress and muscle tightness around the head cause this common form of pain, managed by Physiotherapy.

  • Chronic tension in neck and scalp muscles is released using trigger point Physiotherapy techniques.

  • Relaxation training and ergonomic advice are given through targeted Physiotherapy plans.

Migraine with Neck Dysfunction

  • Though neurological in origin, migraines can worsen due to neck stiffness relieved by Physiotherapy.

  • Joint dysfunction and muscle tension aggravating migraines are managed through skilled Physiotherapy care.

  • Regular stretching and cervical spine control are emphasized in your Physiotherapy protocol.

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Dysfunction

  • Jaw pain and headaches linked to TMJ tension respond well to specialized Physiotherapy treatment.

  • Muscle imbalance in the jaw and neck is assessed and corrected using soft tissue Physiotherapy work.

  • Jaw mobility and alignment improve with structured jaw exercises under Physiotherapy supervision.

Occipital Neuralgia

  • Irritation of occipital nerves causes sharp, shooting head pain relieved through expert Physiotherapy sessions.

  • Manual release and neural mobilization are performed to relieve pressure using Physiotherapy tools.

  • Strengthening and posture education are part of the long-term Physiotherapy approach.

Post-Concussion Headaches

  • After head injuries, residual headaches are addressed using gentle and guided Physiotherapy rehab.

  • Vestibular symptoms, neck stiffness, and muscle imbalance are improved with evidence-based Physiotherapy methods.

  • Controlled progression and light sensory retraining are central to post-concussion Physiotherapy.

Sinus-Related Tension Headache

  • Blocked sinuses may cause facial and forehead pain, which can benefit from supportive Physiotherapy.

  • Drainage techniques, facial muscle release, and posture adjustments are part of this Physiotherapy care.

  • Breathing and head-neck alignment are restored with guided Physiotherapy breathing exercises.

PHYSIOTHERAPY TREATMENTS HEAD PAIN

Manual Therapy

  • Hands-on cervical spine mobilizations help reduce the root cause of pain through Physiotherapy support.

  • Muscle tension, joint misalignments, and stiffness are targeted using specialized Physiotherapy methods.

  • This improves mobility, relieves headaches, and is central to holistic Physiotherapy sessions.

Trigger Point Release

  • Trigger points in the upper trapezius and suboccipital region are released by skilled Physiotherapy hands.

  • Chronic head pain often stems from tight knots, which are addressed using clinical Physiotherapy tools.

  • This leads to reduced referral pain and greater freedom through consistent Physiotherapy intervention.

Cervical Spine Stabilization Exercises

  • Weak neck muscles cause instability and contribute to head pain treated by progressive Physiotherapy rehab.

  • Deep flexor strengthening is taught using guided resistance during Physiotherapy sessions.

  • These exercises restore head control and are a key part of your ongoing Physiotherapy program.

Posture Correction

  • Forward head and rounded shoulders contribute to chronic head pain, corrected through posture-based Physiotherapy.

  • Ergonomic education and spine realignment reduce cervical tension during Physiotherapy training.

  • Lifestyle adjustments and workspace setup are addressed in every Physiotherapy plan.

Electrotherapy Modalities

  • Ultrasound and TENS therapy relieve head and neck pain as part of adjunctive Physiotherapy care.

  • These modalities reduce muscle spasms and improve circulation within your Physiotherapy framework.

  • They are used before or after manual techniques during your personalized Physiotherapy session.

Dry Needling & Myofascial Release

  • Muscle tension and deep-seated pain are treated using dry needling in skilled Physiotherapy environments.

  • Fascial release and relaxation improve tissue health as part of integrated Physiotherapy therapy.

  • This reduces both local and referred headache pain with long-lasting Physiotherapy results.

Breathing & Relaxation Techniques

  • Stress-induced headaches are eased with guided breathing taught during Physiotherapy appointments.

  • Diaphragmatic breathing reduces tension in the head and neck via simple Physiotherapy routines.

  • This approach supports nervous system balance and complements your regular Physiotherapy treatment.

Vestibular Rehabilitation

  • Post-concussion or migraine-related dizziness is improved using targeted Physiotherapy balance work.

  • Vestibular therapy includes head movements, eye coordination, and retraining within Physiotherapy care.

  • It enhances confidence, stability, and pain control as part of full-spectrum Physiotherapy healing.
