Concentrate On Neck Pain To Relieve Headaches
The neck can be a hidden and debilitating source of headaches. Very often neck pain and headaches go hand-in-hand, leading to a miserable time coping with everyday activities. According to the National Institute of Health Statistics neck pain and headaches are the second most common form of pain experienced by North Americans, with 59% reporting it affected their enjoyment of life. Some headaches are often grouped under the term “cervicogenic headache” meaning that the primary source is from the neck. There are well mapped out patterns of headaches that come from the different parts of the neck, shoulder and upper back areas. The discs between your bones (vertebrae) and joints in the upper neck often contribute to headaches. Even headaches located in the forehead or behind the eyes are often referred pains stemming from problem areas in the neck and base of the skull. The joints connecting the top three vertebral levels of the neck handle almost 50% of the total motion of the entire neck. This means they absorb a lot of repetitive strain. These joints bear the main load of the weight of the head (about that of a bowling ball). With fatigue, poor posture, injuries, disc problems, arthritis, muscular stress and even prior surgeries, the wear and tear on this critical region of your body can prove too much, resulting in pain. It is also possible that you may develop a narrowing of the spinal canal itself. Since the spinal cord runs through the spine, a narrowing of the canal or where the nerves exit, can lead to a condition called spinal stenosis. There is much that can be done to treat neck pain and headaches. Our expert physical therapists have years of experience helping people with

What Our Patients Have To Say
I am walking and back in the game! “I had a lumbar fusion and a torn meniscus, I was barely able to walk. I had tried 4 other physical therapists and had accepted the fact that maybe I wouldn’t be able to stand or walk like I used to. That was until I found Reddy-Care Physical Therapy. I knew from the first day I walked in the door, that this was the place for me. They treat the whole body, work on gait, balance and alignment. They have all cutting edge machines; the AlterG anti-gravity treadmill, and other computer guided machines that rate your balance. Shehzad was my therapist and his knowledge and professionalism has got me where I am today. I am walking and back in the game! Anthony, Vanessa, and all the assistants go out of their way to get you on the road to recovery! Thanks to all at Reddy-Care!!! ” - Linda P.
