Tired of Constant Headaches? Here’s How Physiotherapy Can Help
Headaches can be debilitating, affecting daily activities, work productivity, and overall quality of life. Tension-type headaches (TTH), migraines (MH), and cervicogenic headaches (CGH) are the most common types, often leading people to rely on medication for relief. However, long-term use of pharmacological treatments can cause side effects.
At The Physio Crew, our expert physiotherapists in Tullamarine and Carlton provide manual therapy techniques proven to reduce headache intensity, frequency, and overall pain levels without the need for excessive medication.
A recent systematic review and meta-analysis confirms that manual therapy is an effective treatment for tension-type and migraine headaches.
Key Findings:
✔ Manual therapy is effective for tension-type headaches (TTH) and migraines (MH).
✔ Patients reported improved quality of life and reduced headache frequency after manual therapy.
✔ For cervicogenic headaches (CGH), more research is needed to confirm effectiveness.
✔ Treatment techniques included:
- Spinal and cervical mobilisation
- Sub-occipital inhibitory pressure
- Myofascial trigger point release
- Physiotherapist assisted stretches
Manual therapy offers a natural, drug-free solution for chronic headaches, especially for tension-type headaches and migraines. Book in with our expert physiotherapists for headache relief.
