Physical Therapy, Massage Therapy, and Chiropractic treatments for Migraine and Tension Headaches.
 Treatment for headaches is a combination of physical therapy, massage therapy, and chiropractic treatments. We combine the best of all disciplines to treat your headaches.
Most people are aware repetitive activities, physical habits, poor posture, and stress contribute to chronic muscle spasms in the cervical spine; which can aggravate cervicogenic headaches.
Standard headache treatment of electric therapy, ultrasound, and passive stretching is slow to reduce spasms and scar tissue.
A combination of modalities, manual therapy, massage therapy, Graston/ASTYM, provider performed stretching, and exercises decrease the muscle spasms and improve range of motion faster than traditional treatment protocols.
This treatment protocol produces faster results, greater long term benefit, and with less risk of aggravation.
We go beyond treating what hurts, and address the cervical, thoracic, scapular, and shoulder muscle spasms that contribute to the headaches. In addition, the massage therapists focus on the anterior cervical muscles which often go overlooked.
This treatment will often decrease the intensity, frequency, and duration of headaches within two weeks.
