This hands-on treatment helps with pain relief by easing the tension in your muscles.

We would be happy to set up a consultation and discuss how our treatment services could benefit you! HOW DOES MYOFASCIAL RELEASE HELP? If you live with headaches or migraines, you know how painful and debilitating they can be. Attacks are usually characterized by painful throbbing or pulsing on one side of the head, which can also be accompanied by changes in vision, nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light, or sensitivity to sound. When the muscles around your neck become tight, your mobility of the affected area becomes restricted, and any movements you make can result in pain. Myofascial release reverses this sensation by loosening up the constricted area, thus promoting easier mobility and less pain. This targeted form of treatment has been known to relieve the pain of chronic headaches and migraines by massaging the tightened muscles around the head and neck. If you’ve sustained an injury to the neck or head that is causing your headaches, myofascial release can also help by massaging out the affected area, in order to loosen up the muscles and allow for a quicker healing process.

4 EASY TRICKS TO RELIEVE A HEADACHE
2. ADEQUATE SLEEP. Getting enough sleep on a regular basis is part of the migraine hygiene you should practice to keep your headaches at ease. Sleep also includes darkness. Light is painful when you’re suffering from a minimal headache, a hangover, and especially a migraine. Its brightness can trigger an even greater head pain, so don’t be afraid to dim the lights a bit. 3. BALANCED DIET. Eating regular meals, avoiding foods that trigger headaches, and staying hydrated will also help reduce the pain and frequency of your headaches. If you suffer from migraines on a regular basis, consider making one small switch to your diet: more nuts. Nuts can work as both a pain reliever and a preventative method to stave off future onsets. Many varieties of nuts contain an important “ingredient” called salicin. Salicin is a pain blocking agent that’s present in many of today’s medications. Though you may want to reach for an over the counter pain reliever when migraines strike, choose
nuts—they offer the same important ingredients. 4. WORK ON IMPROVING YOUR POSTURE.
Did you know there are natural ways to relieve headaches? Try these tips to help kick your pain to the curb and get back to doing the things you enjoy! 1. REGULAR EXERCISE. Regular exercise can reduce the frequency and strength of your headaches. The body releases endorphins during exercise, which act as natural painkillers. Exercise reduces stress, another headache trigger, and encourages better sleep at night. Vigorous, regular exercise can also help reduce the risks of cardiovascular problems, as lack of exercise is a risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease.
Hold your shoulders back and your head level, parallel to the ground, instead of hunching forward. This technique helps improve headaches most frequently occurring during work.
