HEADACHE TREATMENT

Uncovering Headache Triggers and Effective Rehabilitation

Headaches can stem from a variety of causes, including tension, stress, poor posture, dehydration, and underlying medical conditions.

For those with active lifestyles, such as athletes or gym-goers, the physical demands placed on the body can lead to increased tension in the neck and shoulders, exacerbating headache symptoms. Identifying these triggers is essential for effective management and relief.

At Australian Sports Physiotherapy, we specialise in headache physiotherapy to help alleviate pain and prevent future occurrences. Our experienced physiotherapists conduct thorough assessments to determine the root causes of your headaches, developing personalised treatment plans that may include manual therapy, targeted exercises, and lifestyle modifications. With our support, you can regain control over your health and enjoy a headache-free life.

HEADACHE PHYSIOTHERAPY

Types of Headaches

Identify what type of headache you are experiencing:

  • Tension Headaches: Often caused by stress and muscle tension, these headaches present as a dull, aching sensation around the head.
  • Migraine: Characterised by intense throbbing pain, usually on one side of the head, migraines can be accompanied by nausea and sensitivity to light.
  • Cluster Headaches: These severe headaches occur in cyclical patterns or clusters, often causing intense pain around one eye.
  • Cervicogenic Headaches: Originating from neck issues, these headaches are often triggered by poor posture or neck injuries, leading to pain radiating to the head.
  • Sinus Headaches: Resulting from sinus inflammation, these headaches cause pressure and pain in the forehead, cheeks, and around the eyes.
  • Rebound Headaches: Caused by overuse of pain medications, these headaches can create a cycle of recurring pain.
