Physiotherapy and Headaches

January 8, 2023 By Abby Aitchison

Physiotherapy and Headaches
Most people will experience a headache at some time in their life.

There are many types of headaches and many causes. A large number of headaches are caused by neck problems.

Neck-type headaches are often referred to as “cervicogenic headaches”. They are related to the structures around the head and neck, such as:
  • spinal joints (usually the top few neck joints),
  • ligaments,
  • nerve roots and surrounding muscles.
Physiotherapist are well trained in diagnosing the cause and types of headaches. We can refer you on for further testing if the symptoms may be a more serious type of problem.

Physiotherapy techniques that may help alleviate headaches include:
  • Spinal mobilisation
  • Work set-up modification
  • Relaxation techniques
  • Massage
  • Acupuncture/ dry needling
  • Exercises and strengthening
Book an appointment to see our physiotherapists if you are having problems with headache. We will assess and treat you, and give you a clear diagnosis and plan for your recovery.
