Osteopathy for Headaches

I specialise in manual therapy techniques which target muscle tension, joint restrictions, and nerve irritations in the cranial area. Through correct treatments I offer relief for a broad range of headache symptoms by promoting relaxation and balance.

My service aims to not only reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches but also empower individuals to effectively manage and find sustainable relief.

Some of the conditions that osteopathy may be beneficial for headaches include:

  • Tension Headaches: Address tension headaches by targeting muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, and cranial area, promoting relaxation and improved circulation to alleviate headache symptoms.
  • Migraines: Help manage migraines by addressing trigger points, muscle tension, and nerve irritations that contribute to the onset and intensity of migraine attacks, potentially reducing their frequency and severity.
  • Cervicogenic Headaches: Osteopathic techniques can assist in treating cervicogenic headaches, which originate from the neck and upper spine, by addressing musculoskeletal imbalances, joint dysfunction, and nerve compression in the cervical region.
  • Cluster Headaches: Provide relief for cluster headaches by targeting muscle tension, promoting better circulation, and addressing cranial and facial imbalances that can contribute to the intensity and duration of cluster headache episodes.
  • Sinus Headaches: Alleviate sinus headaches by addressing muscle tension and restrictions in the facial and cranial areas, promoting drainage and improved circulation to reduce sinus-related headache symptoms.
  • Stress-Related Headaches: Manages stress-related headaches by promoting relaxation, reducing muscle tension, and addressing emotional stressors that can contribute to headache development and intensity.
  • Postural Headaches: Target postural imbalances and muscle tension that lead to postural headaches, promoting better alignment and posture to alleviate headache symptoms associated with poor posture.
  • Hormonal Headaches: Osteopathy can aid in managing hormonal headaches by addressing musculoskeletal issues that worsen headache symptoms during hormonal fluctuations, providing relief and support during hormonal changes.
  • Chronic Headaches: Osteopathic treatment offers a holistic approach to managing chronic headaches by addressing underlying musculoskeletal issues, promoting relaxation, and improving overall well-being to reduce the frequency and impact of chronic headache episodes.
