Cervicogenic headaches are headaches that originate from dysfunction in the cervical spine (neck) rather than the head itself. These headaches are often misdiagnosed as migraines or tension headaches, leading to ineffective treatment.
At Movement Rehab Inc, Physiotherapy in Brampton focuses on treating the neck structures responsible for triggering these headaches.
• Cervical spine mobility testing
• Postural analysis
• Muscle strength and endurance assessment
• Headache trigger identification
• Cervical joint mobilization
• Soft tissue therapy
• Deep neck flexor strengthening
• Postural re-education
• Ergonomic and lifestyle modifications
Physiotherapy addresses the root cause rather than masking pain, helping reduce headache frequency, intensity, and reliance on medication.
