Does your head hurt?
Headaches are one of the most common health complaints in the UK. Some of us are lucky enough to only suffer the odd attack here and there but for others they can be very distracting and quite difficult to manage.
Headaches are divided into:
– Primary headaches: those which are not due to underlying health problems such as tension headaches, migraines and cluster headaches
– Secondary headaches: those which are due to causes such as illness, alcohol, excessive painkiller use and hormones
Some primary headaches can be linked to neck and shoulder tension or strain patterns that build up in our bodies. Osteopathic treatment can be effective in helping to alleviate some of the symptoms associated with headaches where they are caused by these tensions and strain patterns.
If you suffer from headaches which may be caused by neck and shoulder tension, why not give us a call for an informal chat or to book an appointment on 0117 923 1138.
Please note that we recommended that you visit your GP to discuss your headache symptoms prior to osteopathic treatment.
