Head and neck pain, sometimes combined with dizziness, are common ailments that can significantly affect daily life. For many it is a temporary discomfort that goes away on its own, but for others it can be a recurring problem that causes serious discomfort. Manual therapy is an effective approach to reducing or even preventing head and neck pain.
Headaches can take different forms and can range from mild irritation to debilitating pain that interferes with daily functioning. It can be caused by several factors, including posture, movement and tension in the neck, jaw or spine. It is important to note that headaches usually do not come directly from the head itself, but are often a symptom of underlying problems elsewhere in the body. In manual therapy, we focus on examining and treating pain and movement complaints, with special attention to problems in the spine. Using specialized techniques, one of our manual therapists can help the joints function better and improve posture and movements. This can provide immediate relief from head and neck pain and improve overall mobility.
Each patient receives personalized treatment based on their specific complaints and needs. Our manual therapist starts with a thorough screening and intake to determine the cause of the headache and/or neck pain. A treatment plan is then drawn up, including the number of treatments required and the expected duration of recovery. If necessary, the manual therapist works together with other healthcare providers, such as general practitioners or specialists, to ensure a comprehensive approach to treatment. This can help achieve the best results and ensure that the patient benefits from the therapy in the long term.
Head and neck pain is a common complaint that can disrupt daily life, but manual therapy offers an effective solution to these problems. Through specialized techniques and a personal approach, our manual therapist can provide relief and improve the patient's overall health and well-being.
If you suffer from recurring headaches, do not hesitate to discuss your complaints with a manual therapist. Early intervention may help you recover faster and more effectively, allowing you to enjoy a life free of disabling headaches.
