Tired of Headaches?

5/20/2013

Do you suffer from chronic headaches? And when you do have a headache, what do you do? I’m guessing most people will say they take an over the counter medication such as Excedrin. While this isn’t always a bad idea, it does not fix the cause of your headaches, especially the ones that are of musculoskeletal origin. Did you know that physical therapy can play an important role in treating your headaches? Since one of the major causes of headaches is due to soft tissue structures, it is important to find a physical therapist who uses manual therapy to help restore muscle balance and relieve strain on muscles and joints throughout the head, neck, and jaw region! After a thorough evaluation, your physical therapist will design a program to target these areas as well as provide manual therapy to help relieve your symptoms. A study published in 2009 found that individuals who received manual therapy had greater results than those who received treatment from their general practitioner for both short and long term reduction in their headache symptoms. You wouldn’t believe how many patients I have had who have seen significant improvements in their headaches after only a couple of visits, and almost all of them tell me that they wish they would have come in sooner. At Wisconsin Orthopedic Physical Therapy we provide you with the resources you need to not only resolve your headaches, but prevent them from returning. Are you tired of having headaches? Don’t wait any longer and schedule an appointment with us today! 414-763-2941
