Whilst it may not be the first thing you think about when hear about Osteopathy, headaches are one of the most common presentations that we see in the clinic!

​

​The frequent thought about headaches is “I’m just dehydrated, that’s why I have a headache”. This could be true, however there are many more causes of headaches than just dehydration! Headaches may be related to neck pain/stiffness, upper back pain/stiffness, shoulder pain/stiffness, posture, vision, jaw just to name a few!

​

With so many potential causes for headaches, our Osteopaths will take you through a thorough history and examination to determine the cause of your headache.​

​

Treatment of headaches will depend on what is causing them. Osteopathic manual therapy may be used if your Osteopath identifies a musculoskeletal origin. Imaging may be required if your Osteopath deems it necessary. Various exercises can be useful in reducing the onset and frequency of headaches.

 

Overall, your Osteopath will tailor the specific treatment plan to your unique circumstances, getting you back to the things you love in no time.
