Osteopathy for headaches & migraines
An effective approach to treatment
The most common type of headache originates from muscle stiffness or joint strain in the neck and upper back. Effective headaches treatment often addresses these underlying issues as well as other causes such as eye strain, sinus congestion, whiplash injury, stress, jaw imbalance, teeth grinding, allergies, and poor posture.
Your osteopath can provide specialised care to help with migraines relief and improve your overall well-being by:
- Enhancing your general mobility
- Increasing the mobility of your ribs, thoracic, and cervical spine
- Reducing muscular tension, nerve compression, and inflammation
- Advising on posture, exercise, and stretching to help prevent a recurrence of symptoms
- Offering guidance on improving the ergonomics of your home or workplace
- Differentiating between headaches with common causes and those that may indicate something more serious, referring you to another health professional if necessary.
If your headaches are the result of an injury, your osteopath can assist you in lodging an ACC claim, with no GP referral required, ensuring you receive the best osteopathy for migraines and related conditions.
