Migraines & Headaches
Migraines and headaches can stem from various causes, including muscle tension, nerve irritation, and poor posture. Physical therapy focuses on improving neck mobility, correcting posture, and addressing muscle imbalances through manual therapy and relaxation techniques. Dry needling is effective in treating tension-type and cervicogenic headaches by targeting trigger points in the cervical and suboccipital muscles. This approach can reduce the intensity, frequency, and duration of headaches, and may also help with neurogenic inflammation and vestibular symptoms.
