NRG STAFF SPOTLIGHT Lisa Smyrichinsky, CAT(C)
One of the most common causes of headaches that are easily treatable with physiotherapy is radiating headaches, which are caused by stress in the joints and muscles of the neck. This causes pain to radiate from the top of the neck into the head, especially surrounding the ears. There are a lot of reasons why radiating headaches could develop, including as a result of lack of movement and stiffness in the neck. This buildup of irritation can be treated with regular physiotherapy, especially through the use of massage and flexibility exercises that target the muscles in the neck. Neck Pain 101.
