How Osteopathy Can Help Tension Headaches
Tension headaches are usually caused by stress and muscle tension, with patients complaining of pain or discomfort in the head, scalp, or neck. Osteopathic treatment techniques, such as myofascial release and spinal manipulation, can help significantly reduce tension headaches' frequency, intensity, and duration. Our team will also look at the areas of your spine associated with the body's fight, fright and flight responses to help down-regulate the nervous system and have a calming, stress-reducing effect on your body.
Expert Osteopathic Care for Intense, Cluster Headaches
Cluster headaches are intense debilitating headaches often causing pain around the eyes and head. Osteopathy can help reduce pain intensity, frequency, and duration of headaches. Your Osteopath will use soft tissue manipulation techniques such as inhibition, active release therapy and massage to help elevate symptoms. Some osteopaths will also use cranial osteopathy a part of a holistic approach to managing your cluster headaches.
Addressing Sinus Inflammation and Congestion
Sinus headaches are often associated with sinus inflammation and congestion caused by allergies or sinus infections. It often feels like dull pain or like pressure and affects your face and forehead – and sometimes behind or between your eyes. At Movement Mechanics Osteopathy, our experienced osteopaths focus on improving overall sinus and cranial function. This includes sinus drainage and manual therapy, which can help address underlying sinus inflammation and congestion.
Neck pain and headaches
Cervicogenic headaches are typically caused by musculoskeletal dysfunction in the neck region. Osteopathic treatments, such as spinal manipulation, soft tissue manipulation, and myofascial release, target the underlying neck and cervical spine issues. It helps improve cervical mobility, reduce muscle tension, and restore proper alignment, leading to symptom relief and improved overall well-being.
