Condition
Headaches & Migraines
Headaches and migraines can respond very positively to osteopathic treatment. Both headaches and migraines often have multiple factors contributing to them, such as hormones, stress, lifestyle, diet, other health conditions, medications and previous injuries.
The mechanics of the spine, neck and base of the head may have areas of restriction or tension, leading to painful symptoms. These mechanics can be improved with hands-on osteopathic techniques.
The thorough medical history that your osteopath will take during your appointment will help to identify as many of the other contributing factors as possible. Your osteopath will discuss these with you to make the most effective plan to alleviate your symptoms alongside the hands on treatment.
