Comprehensive treatment for tension headaches, migraines, and cervicogenic headaches using osteopathy and cranial techniques.
Overview
Understanding Headaches & Migraines
Headaches are one of the most common health complaints, affecting millions of people. They can range from mild discomfort to severe, debilitating pain that interferes with daily life. Different types of headaches have different causes and require different treatment approaches.
At Versano Clinics, we specialize in treating musculoskeletal-related headaches, including tension headaches, cervicogenic headaches (originating from the neck), and helping manage migraines through manual therapy and lifestyle advice.
Symptoms
Dull, aching pain around the head or temples | Pressure or tightness across the forehead or back of head | Throbbing or pulsating pain (migraines) |
Nausea or vomiting (especially with migraines) | Pain starting at the base of the skull and radiating forward | Sensitivity to light, sound, or smells |
Causes
Tension Headaches: Tight muscles in the neck, shoulders, and scalp causing dull, aching pain around the head
Cervicogenic Headaches: Headaches originating from problems in the cervical spine and neck muscles
Migraines: Intense, throbbing pain often on one side, with nausea and sensitivity to light/sound
Poor Posture: Forward head posture and rounded shoulders causing muscle strain
Stress & Anxiety: Emotional stress leading to muscle tension and trigger point activation
TMJ Dysfunction: Jaw problems causing referred pain to the temples and head
Eye Strain: Prolonged screen time without proper breaks
Treatment Options
Frequent headaches and migraines can disrupt your daily life, but incorporating a few healthy habits can reduce their frequency and intensity.
Easy Ways to Prevent Headaches
Stay hydrated – Drink at least 2 liters of water daily
Manage stress – Try meditation or deep breathing exercises
