Headaches & Migraines

Cervicogenic headaches, tension headaches and Migraines.

Headaches and migraines are two common types of pain that occur in the head.

While they share some similarities, they are different conditions with distinct causes, symptoms, and treatments.

​

A headache is a pain or discomfort that occurs in the head, scalp, or neck. It can be a dull ache or a sharp, stabbing pain, and it may last for a few hours or several days. Headaches can be caused by a variety of factors, including tension, dehydration or muscular tensions.

​

Migraines, on the other hand, are a specific type of headache that are typically characterized by intense, throbbing pain on one side of the head, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Migraines can last for several hours or even days and can be debilitating.

​

Physiotherapy can be an effective treatment option for certain types of headaches and migraines. At Functional Xcellence we can assess the underlying causes of the headaches or migraines and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
