08 Mar Experiencing episodes of severe headaches 🤯Feeling clumsy with your hands 👐when you are experiencing episodes of headaches 😳 Or perhaps you experience changes in vision 👀, smell👃 or hearing 👂during or prior to an headache episode

With episodes of severe headaches and associated symptoms occurring, people often go and see neurologists and neurosurgeons as they worry that they may have had a stroke or have a brain  tumour because they experience nausea, vomiting, dizziness and severe headaches. Scans such as CT scans, MRIs and X rays often show nothing. Medications are often prescribed and lots of them but often with little relief. They are often still left with the headaches that cause other issues such increased sensitivity to light, sound and smell. 

It is important for people experiencing these types of headaches and in fact anyone experiencing any type of headaches, to understand that the over-sensitised brainstem is often the major cause of their headaches. The over-sensitised brainstem is actually interpreting any input to the brain as head pain and one of those inputs that triggers head pain is upper neck joints stiffness. Now unfortunately scans such as MRI and CT’s of the neck and brain will not show this upper neck joint stiffness. To identify stiffness in the upper neck joints, a headache trained physiotherapist needs to feel and assess the neck properly.

Here at My Favourite Physio, our Expert Physiotherapists are headache trained physiotherapists who thoroughly assess and treats headaches by looking into the neck.

If you want to get relief and find a solution for your headaches and associated symptoms without medications , ring My Favourite Physio on (02) 9790 4233 or DM us @myfavouritephysio.
