Neck Pain That’s Gone to Your Head
Since graduating from physical therapy school in 1989, I’ve likely treated over a thousand head pain patients. Most of these patients report they’re either suffering from migraines, because their pain level is severe, or from “sinus headaches,” because their pain is located across their forehead and/or behind their eyes.
My joy (and my patient’s surprise) occurs while I am busy treating their necks and suddenly their “sinuses clear” or their “migraines” reduce in intensity! You see, I’ve long known something which most of my patients don’t—the “con-NECK-tion” between their neck dysfunction and their head symptoms.
If you (or someone you care about) have been struggling with chronic headaches and have not had your neck evaluated and treated, then don’t waste another day. Get yourself in the hands of a gifted practitioner. Treatment for neck-induced head pain must be eclectic to be effective. It should include postural and ergonomic instruction, skilled, hands-on mobilization of the soft tissues, joints, and discs in the upper back and neck, and, in some cases, treatment of the rib cage.
What’s made me a sold-out believer in this method of thorough assessment and treatment of head pain? The nearly 100% success rate I’ve had with my neck-based headache patients. The best part is that these former head pain sufferers are not merely experiencing a reduction in pain intensity or frequency, rather their PT treatments have resulted in a full and permanent resolution of their symptoms!
To begin on your journey towards pain-free days, months, and years, pick up a copy of my book, Overcoming Headaches and Migraines. In it you’ll find a great deal of education and many self-treatment options—which may be all you need to show your pain the door. My friend’s adult daughter needed only to change her sleeping posture for a 100% cure!
If you do need to put yourself in the hands of a physical practitioner, my book will give you critical guidance in your search for a truly healing pair of hands.
May you soon discover healing for the neck pain that’s gone to your head!
