22 Mar 🤔Been hearing a lot of talk about the neck joints being involved in headaches and migraines 🤯 Did you know 🧐that the C2 joint in the neck can play a major role in causing headaches and migraines🤕
Shown in the picture below is the C2 joint (the second bone in the neck). The C2 is a big culprit behind many headaches and migraines. We often find that the C2 joint is often slightly rotated in Headache and Migraine Sufferers, which causes a dysfunction in the movement quality of the upper joints of your neck!
At the same time, research has shown that Headache and Migraine Sufferers have a hypersensitive brainstem which is interpreting the dysfunction in the C2 joint as Headache and Migraine symptoms, This means that by reducing the dysfunction in your C2, we directly impact the brainstem hypersensitivity and reduce the Headache and Migraine symptoms that you experience!
That’s exactly what our Expert Physiotherapists do at My Favourite Physio! By using specific and gentle pressures on neck joints, we are able to gradually correct the rotation in the C2 joint in your neck. As the C2 is corrected, Headache and Migraine Sufferer will find that their Headache or Migraine symptoms change in terms of lower intensity, frequency and duration without the use of medications!
The treatment is a hundred percent safe and a detailed assessment is performed before commencing treatment to rule out any sinister pathology and to determine if your neck joints is the cause of your headaches and migraines.
