Migraines and Headaches Balmain
Personalised care and physiotherapy in Balmain designed to help relieve headaches and pain.
About Headaches and Migraines
On the surface, headaches and migraines might not seem like serious issues, but over 20% of Australians struggle with them every day. Constant migraines are often debilitating to live with, making it more difficult to complete everyday tasks and causing a lot of pain and stress.
At RedoHealth, we offer tailored support to help address your headaches and migraines. Through manual therapy, physiotherapy techniques, and exercise, we aim to help relieve some of the tension and strain you may be experiencing.
Migraine and headache causes
Migraines and headaches may be caused by physical imbalances such as poor posture and injuries. However, environmental and internal factors are also known to contribute. They may be brought on by stress, poor lighting, distinct smells, and even diet and medication. When coping with a headache, it’s important to try to identify the root cause to help treat it.
Symptoms to look out for
Symptoms depend on the type of headache you have and its cause. For instance, tension headaches often present as a dull, aching pain around the sides of your head. If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, you likely have headache or migraine issues:
- Throbbing pain at the front or back of the head
- Upper neck pain
- Nausea
- Dizziness
- Weakness in the body
- Light sensitivity
- Poor sleep
Headache and migraine assessment
At RedoHealth, we aim to help you identify the cause of your headaches to determine the most appropriate treatment. First, we will collect a detailed history of your medical concerns to build our understanding of your health. We will then conduct a physical assessment and work to identify current issues to guide our treatments and recommendations.
Migraine treatments
Physiotherapy is a trusted method of addressing headaches and migraines. Through spinal realignment techniques and careful neck movements to stretch the neck joints, a physiotherapist aims to relieve muscle tension. This may encourage your body to relax, potentially reducing pain.
Likewise, guided manual therapy and exercise may also help to relieve stress. We aim to tailor your treatment to address your needs and help manage your migraines.
Your headache and migraine questions answered
Is pain medication better than physiotherapy?
Pain medication only addresses a symptom of your headaches. Physiotherapy is focused on improving your overall health and targeting the cause of your concerns. This means that physiotherapy aims to address your issues directly rather than applying a short-term remedy.
When should I seek support?
If you regularly experience migraines and headaches, you should seek professional support. Likewise, if you have a headache that has lasted for a week or more, it is recommended that you reach out for additional help. Extremely painful headaches and migraines should also be carefully considered.
