County Osteopaths : Migraine and Headaches

Headaches, migraines and dizzyness that are associated with neck tension may be effectively treated by osteopathy. We aim to improve the function of your neck muscles and joints using techniques such as mobilisation, massage and manipulation. Techniques vary from firm to gentle (you may choose which, if you are apprehensive).

We may also advise you on how to help yourself via neck exercises and the awareness of certain lifestyle factors thought to contribute to headaches and migraine.

As Registered Osteopaths we are highly trained and so know what we can and cannot treat safely. We take time and care to make sure we understand what is wrong and how we may help. Osteopaths’ extensive training means that we can recognise conditions that may need medical help or that may make osteopathic treatment inappropriate or unsafe. In these cases we will refer the patient to his or her specialist or GP (with a detailed letter where necessary).

If you suffer from aches and pains you may well have too much tension in your muscles. This may be because of:-

the job you do

streses and strains you are under

a weakness that relates to a past injury

poor posture

the onset of wear and tear

and many, many other factors.

Osteopathy may help by alleviating muscle tension and improving joint flexibility, allowing you to relax. We may also give you tips on posture and exercise to help you keep the aches and pains at bay.
