"I was referred to C.A.R.E. after 5 years of sacroiliac joint pain and 2 stints of unsuccessfully physical therapy. The result of my treatment there, is that I am finally able to run and engage in normal daily activities virtually pain free."

Headaches

Many people struggle with chronic or repeated headaches, causing missed days at work, or often forcing many sufferers to struggle through a less-than productive day. Most headaches are caused by 2 major factors: muscular tension and vascular dysfunction. Often times, it is a combination of both.

 

Vascular headaches often include a throbbing sensation in the head (i.e. feeling your heartbeat in the head) and often occur around menstrual periods or after eating particular foods.  Muscular tension headaches involve myofascial restrictions and muscle spasms that cause pain to radiate 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.

                                    

Our skilled manual therapists can help to 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 head off headaches before they even start.

 

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.
