“MakeYourNaggingHeadachesADistantMemory!” LIVE WITHOUT NECK PAIN & HEADACHES

Do you suffer from frequent neck pain and headaches? People literally live on Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen for years because they constantly have a nagging headache, induced by muscle spasms in the neck. Many people who suffer from frequent headaches fear they have an underlying neck problem that may go undiagnosed or untreated. The Cause of Most Headaches Headaches can range from minor nagging pains to full-blown migraines that knock you off your feet for a day or two. Any headache, whether tremendous pain or not, should be a warning sign that the muscles around your spine and neck may be too tight and tense. Prolonged muscle tension may cause you to feel stiff and achy. One may feel pain in the shoulders, neck, upper back and even radiating out to the upper arms. Most people who have headaches complain about having neck and shoulder pain. The most intense pain usually lies directly in the upper back sides of the neck. The pain then radiates into the shoulder area. This is why many people who have headaches treat themselves to seek frequent neck and shoulder massages. Relief That Works Physical therapy goes beyond massages to evaluate and treat the root cause of your pain. Muscular tightness may lead to poor joint movement and weakness. Our physical therapy experts are trained in specialized, hands-on treatments to quickly reduce your pain. Furthermore you can enjoy the added benefits of corrected posture and improved motion. We help to train you in gentle exercises and self- help techniques to relieve neck pain and headaches independently and prevent the problem from recurring. Physical therapy can help you to relieve the tightness and tension in your muscles, helping you live a happy, pain-free life.

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 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.

Patient Success Spotlight

“Before PT, I was unable to eat certain foods and could barely open my mouth. I had constant pain, loud jaw popping and constant headaches. With the help of PT, I have been able to regain mobility in my mouth, open and close it with no pain and no popping. My headaches hardly ever happen anymore and the neck pain that accompanied it, is gone. These guys have been super helpful and amazing. I am very thankful I found Kinetix.

Vegetable Smoothie Recipe

Ingredients • 6 oz water • 1 large tomato • ½ cucumber • 2 pieces celery

• 2 carrots • handful of baby spinach • lemon juice from 1 lemon (or balsamic vinegar) • 6 ice cubes

Directions Wash the vegetables, throw them in the pitcher (after washing), turn blender on low, and then turn it up to high for about 30 seconds. You may need to use the tamper to get it circulating at the beginning. Other possibilities to add include olive oil, Tabasco, or herbs like basil. If you want it to look more like V8 you could leave out the spinach and add another tomato.
