Neck pain and headache are very common and can impinge greatly on our lifestyle. Pain in this region may also involve the shoulder region and the jaw (TMJ).
Our treatment approach is to assess the whole region to identify the causative factors. Very often we see stiffness and dysfunction in more than one of these areas which need to be treated collectively. Posture is also very much at fault in incidences of neck pain. There are many forms of headache and physiotherapy can assist in the alleviation of symptoms in many of them. Our hands on approach is coupled with a strong education element where we will explain the possible causes of the pain as well as the approaches to its management. We will also liaise with your doctor if further investigation is required.
Our approach to treatment of neck pain and headache will always involve Manual Therapy and may also include,
- Myofascial Release
- Massage
- Acupuncture
- Dry Needling
- Postural Assessment, Training and Education
- Home Exercise Program in print or emailed to your account
