natural headache & migraine treatment

Muscle tension and joint restriction in the neck and shoulders are a major cause of headaches and migraines, as is dental work, which can unbalance the jaw. With these restrictions and tightness in the head and scalp area, blood supply is reduced which can then cause pain.

Osteopathic treatment gently eases theses restrictions, restoring the blood supply and naturally relieving headache and migraine pain.

why am I in pain?

Unless there has been a specific trauma, e.g. from a car accident, fall, or sporting injury, headache and migraine problems in adulthood generally tend to be a result of stresses that have accumulated over the years, until the body's compensatory mechanisms begin to breakdown.

Your muscles and joints effectively go on strike, in protest over the pressure they have been subjected to, often for quite a prolonged period of time.

what will your osteopath do?

Your osteopath will complete a thorough case history and examination. They will then explain in detail:

• How osteopathy can help you.
• What is wrong and which muscles, joints or nerves are causing your pain.
• Why it has happened.
• What treatment you require.
• Provide you with a treatment plan with milestones to help measure your progress.
• Refer you to other practitioners if required such as GP's, Radiologists, Paediatricians etc.
• How many sessions they think it will take to relieve the pain and resolve the problem.
• What you can do to speed your recovery.
• The things you must do to avoid prolonging or aggravating the injury.
• What can be done, through treatment and management, to ensure the problem does not recur.

Testimonial

"I have been suffering migraine headaches since my early teens. After trying different types of natural therapies, I thought I would try Osteopathy. I have finally had success with Sharon and her team. While some of my migraines are hormonal, the majority are due to back and neck strain/tension.

Sharon has been able to pinpoint my problems areas and with her treatment my migraines have decreased dramatically. She also assisted me during my second pregnancy, especially during the first few months when my migraines were more frequent due to hormonal changes. The treatment regime I have been under with Sharon has improved my main concern of migraine headaches and I also believe that my overall wellbeing has improved."
