Headaches are the third most common pain complaint worldwide, affecting millions of people daily. If you’re one of them, you understand how debilitating they can be. Whether caused by sinus issues, vascular complications, or muscular problems, headaches or migraines can disrupt your daily life.

Physical therapy targets these underlying causes, providing relief that addresses more than just the symptoms.
A licensed physical therapist will perform a comprehensive assessment to determine the type of headache: tension headache, migraine, or secondary headache caused by an underlying condition. This helps identify the exact source of your pain. Once diagnosed, treatment focuses on alleviating pain and preventing future flare-ups.
Physical therapists may use hands-on techniques like soft tissue mobilization, massage, or cervical traction to release tension and improve circulation. Heat or ice therapy can also be applied to reduce inflammation and pain.
Improving posture and strengthening neck and upper back muscles are key components of physical therapy for headaches. These exercises help support better alignment and reduce the strain on muscles and joints, preventing recurrence.
Some patients experience relief in as little as one session, while others benefit from a customized treatment plan for ongoing care.
If you suffer from headaches or migraines, don’t wait any longer to find relief. Elite Therapy Solutions can get you back on track quickly. With clinics located throughout Pennsylvania, we are ready to help you manage your pain and improve your quality of life.
