Our Mission Is To End Unnecessary Headaches & Migraines And Help You Get On With Enjoying Life.
Common Issues With Headaches & Migraines
- The majority of headaches and migraines have a common source. When you take a paracetamol or prescribed drug you are masking the symptom but not fixing the problem. Find out the common source of headache and migraine in our Relieve Migraine & Headache guide.
- Your GP, friends or family have never mentioned physio for my headache or migraine so you never considered it.
- Headache and migraine drains your energy levels and can affect your family life and relationships significantly. Please don’t continue to let headache control your life. We want to help.
- You take painkillers to ease your headache but now they’re not really working. Often codeine based painkillers and triptans actually CAUSE headache – you need to get you off these as soon as possible. We offer a drug free approach to managing headache and migraine. Are you taking the GP prescribed tablets that can cause Medication Overuse Headache? Find out in our Migraine & Headache Guide.
- Migraine and Headache sufferers are more prone to Vertigo or dizziness with head movements. This is often related to the same SOURCE of the headache or migraine issue. This can be resolved by helping restore the health of the upper neck!
- Perhaps you had physio before and they just gave you some stretches or a bit of massage – this is not effective for headaches and migraine. You need EXPERT treatment for a very specific problem.
- Occasionally people see nearly EVERY other health professional before someone finally mentions physio. You may have been referred to a neurologist, orthopaedic consultant, dentist, optician and no-one has found any issue – can physio help!? Yes, see Geoffrey’s story below after years headaches and waiting for unnecessary referrals Geoffrey eased his headaches at Causeway Physio & Pilates.
- So many people simply don’t know how effective physio can be for types of headache/migraine. You try everything else: dietary changes, headache diary’s, changing glasses, different medications from your GP. You may be missing the simple solution! Check out our Relieve Migraine & Headache Ebook to find out if you have one of the common types of migraine or headache that we relieve regularly.
- Stress triggers my headache so I know it’s not caused by neck. WRONG. Stress sensitises nerves and causes increased muscle tension. This combination feeds into headache. We help you resolve the underlying issue which means that your body can cope with stress without triggering a triggering headache or migraine. Stress is a factor but it is not the source of the problem in most cases.
- You may have other associated symptoms such as vertigo, “fuzzy” head feeling, slight dizziness, facial pain, ongoing neck pain that make you think that there may be something that physio can’t help with. These symptoms are fairly common and are often related to irritation of the nerves at the top of the neck. We can help with vertigo, dizziness, fuzzy head and facial pain. Why not try a Free Taster Physio session OR speak with one of our experts via our 10 min Call Back to find out if physio is right for you.
