Chronic headaches affect 1 in 7 Americans. These individuals have the quality of their lives, careers, and family interactions disrupted by headache pain.

The headache treatment program is designed to help patients reduce or eliminate their pain and regain control of their lives.

This short-term program offers a multidisciplinary approach that includes:

• An extensive patient evaluation by a Licensed Physical Therapist to identify all possible physical causes, as well as a review of any possible diet and emotional factors. When necessary, referrals to the appropriate professional will be made.
• A customized treatment plan to specifically address the identified problem areas based upon the findings of the evaluation and recommendations from the referring physician.
• Patient instruction that allows the individual to incorporate these techniques into their daily routines.

Treatments:

A patient in the chronic headache program will be involved in therapies including:

1. Stress Management Instruction
   This program helps patients identify and develop strategies to effectively deal with lifestyle stressors. Specific relaxation techniques reduce pain, improve sleep, and instill self-confidence in the patient's ability to manage future headaches.
2. Physical Therapy
   Muscular tension, mechanical problems in the cervical spine, TMJ dysfunction, and posture abnormalities are treated with reconditioning exercises, stretching, joint and soft tissue manipulation/mobilization and other treatment modes to aid in headache control. Self-treatment techniques are emphasized for future pain management.
3. Massage Therapy
   Deep therapeutic massage releases trigger points and relaxes muscle spasms while enhancing circulation and reducing stress. Neuromuscular techniques, myofacial release, and acupressure are utilized as needed.
