Why is Physical Therapy Underutilized for Headache & Migraine Treatment?
Many headache and migraine sufferers often experience concurrent neck pain, tension, stiffness, and/or discomfort with onset of symptoms. Often these symptoms are associated with the headache, but Physical Therapy is not a treatment that comes to mind to get to the core cause of the issue. Muscles in the cervical region can become tense and tight from things like over use, static postural loading (like sitting at a computer), as well as trauma events. These tense and tight muscles can cause referred pain from the cervical region to head and facial regions, possibly triggering “migraines”.
