HEADACHES

[an error occurred while processing this directive]
 Headaches are such a common problem that most everyone has had at least one episode.  For many individuals headache pain is debilitating and chronic.  It often befuddles doctors and can lead to problems at home and at work.  Headache pain can have many causes, and one of the most overlooked is improper posture and disturbance of the upper cervical spine.  These areas are very amenable to physical therapy and in our opinion, frequently overlooked.

Your upper cervical spine is made up of a complex pair of vertebrae that are unique in many ways.  Your top two vertebrae are controlled by an elaborate system of muscles that connect to the base of the skull.  They must support the head and perform a large amount of movement.  Several important nerves and arteries pass through these bones and between the structures.  Prolonged postures such as computer and desk work can overload these areas.  Prior injuries and traumas also can cause cumulative stresses that can reach a symptomatic threshold.  

Our success at treating cervical patients with headaches has been very rewarding.  We have found our most enjoyable and appreciative patients are those bothered with headaches.
