Headaches
Statistics estimate
…that in the United States, over 15 percent of all adults complain about severe headaches or migraines, with prevalence among women more than twice as high as among men.
Interestingly, the prevalence of headaches among U.S. adults is distinctly higher among younger people than among those aged 65 years and older.
Although headaches generally are not an uncommon complaint, most people wouldn’t think of physical therapy being an effective treatment for headaches and associated symptoms. Headaches can originate from several different sources, including the back of the skull, jaw issues, tightness in neck muscles just to name a few. Physical therapy is very effective at treating headaches originating from these sources. An evaluation by one of our physical therapists will help to determine where your headache is coming from and if PT will be helpful for you.
