Headaches

by , October 20, 2011

Headaches are one of the most common and challenging problems to treat. As anybody who has done any research on the subject knows, there are many kinds of headache and many causes.

However, for any problem in the body that causes pain, there is one universal response – muscle tightness and holding. This is a reflex. Our bodies do this instinctively in response to pain.  As there are many causes of headache,  I believe that there are many components to managing or curing headaches. The best treatment is a multifactorial approach of appropriate medication, muscular relaxation, postural correction, home care techniques and lifestyle modifications.

At ABA, we have made it our business to become very skilled in a variety of manual therapy techniques to help with muscular relaxation, postural correction, home care techniques and some of the lifestyle modifications necessary for control of this difficult problem.
