Aches Treatment
Headaches can range from mild discomfort to severe pain and are often accompanied by other symptoms. At Lakewood Physiotherapy, we provide comprehensive treatment for various types of headaches, tailored to the symptoms and medical conditions of each patient. Our goal is to address the root cause of the pain and provide effective, long-lasting relief.
Types of Headaches We Treat
1. Cervicogenic Headaches
Cervicogenic headaches are caused by issues in the cervical spine, including its bones, discs, and soft tissues. Pain can originate from areas such as the joints, ligaments, cervical nerve roots, and vertebral arteries near the skull and cervical vertebrae.
Our treatment approach targets the underlying cause of the neck pain through:
- Nerve blocks
- Medications
- Physical therapy: Includes manual therapy and stretching techniques to relieve tension.
- Exercise programs: Designed to strengthen the neck and improve mobility for long-term relief.
Physical therapy combined with an ongoing exercise plan has proven to be highly effective in managing cervicogenic headaches.
2. TMJ Headaches
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) headaches present as a dull, tense pain that is often worse on one side of the head, especially where the TMJ dysfunction is more severe. These headaches are often aggravated by jaw movements and relieved by jaw relaxation.
Our TMJ headache treatment program includes:
- Heat or ice application: To reduce inflammation and ease pain.
- Massage therapy: To alleviate muscle tension around the jaw.
- Range of motion exercises: Simple, home-friendly exercises that improve jaw function and mobility.
These non-invasive therapies are designed to address TMJ dysfunction and relieve associated headaches.
3. Cluster Headaches
Cluster headaches are characterized by intense, sudden pain, often occurring multiple times a day. They usually affect one side of the head, particularly near the eye or forehead, and are caused by the activation of a specific nerve pathway at the brain’s base.
At Lakewood Physiotherapy, we use massage therapy as a natural remedy to:
- Reduce the frequency of cluster headaches.
- Relieve associated symptoms by promoting relaxation and reducing tension in affected areas.
Our tailored approach ensures that every patient receives the care they need for quick and effective relief.
