HEADACHES
Many people struggle with chronic headaches, causing them to miss work or to suffer through a less-than productive day. Headaches are primarily caused by two major factors: muscular tension and vascular dysfunction. Often times it is a combination of both.
Vascular headaches can include a throbbing sensation in the head (i.e. feeling your heartbeat in the head) and frequently occur around menstrual periods or after eating particular foods. Muscular tension headaches involve myofascial restrictions and muscle spasms that cause pain to radiate to the head from the neck, back, eyes, or other muscle groups in the body. A high stress level can also contribute to strain in the upper cervical and cranial tissues.

The therapists at C.A.R.E. can not only reduce the intensity and frequency of your headaches, but address the root cause by:

identifying the musculoskeletal imbalances throughout your body including the cranium, neck, shoulders and pelvis
applying specific, hands-on techniques that balance your circulatory system and relieve tissue tension in the restricted areas
strengthening neck and shoulder muscles, enabling your work at your desk and manage activities of daily living with ease
instructing you in easy-to-learn biofeedback and relaxation techniques to prevent headaches before they begin.

Based on the findings of your individual evaluation, your therapist will design and implement a tailored treatment that will give you freedom from this chronic and often debilitating condition.
