Did you know that almost 50% of adults have a current headache disorder and that up to 75% of adults have had a headache in the last year? Headaches are one of the most common physical complaints and can be one of the most frustrating to manage. Did you know that we at JointCare Physical Therapy are trained to treat tension- related headaches? Tension-related headaches are the most common type of headache and can be caused by tight muscles and joints in the neck or shoulder. Pain from tension headaches typically begin at the back of the head and can spread to the top of the head, eyes, and cheeks near the jawbone. These headaches can worsen depending on your positioning, such as sitting at a desk, and can ease with rest. If you suffer from headaches, a physical therapist can complete a thorough examination to determine the most likely cause of your pain and work with you to develop a plan of care to meet your goals and needs.
