Not just a pain in the neck

Most people experience the occasional headache whether it’s from a stressful day or bad posture.

Other common causes include:

• • • • • • Vision problems
          • Sinus problems
          • Food intolerances
          • Previous injuries

Osteopaths try to relieve headaches and migraines by:

• • • • • • Improving mobility and posture
          • Reducing muscular tension, nerve compression and inflammation
          • Improving blood supply and drainage to and from the head and neck
          • Promoting better posture
          • Recommending exercise and stretching to help prevent a recurrence of symptoms

You should always seek advice if your headache is getting worse or if you experience a headache after a head trauma.

Please see your doctor if you experience a headache with:

• Fever
• Nausea or vomiting
• Bleeding or fluid draining from the nose or ears
• Dizziness
• Blurred vision or speech
• Numbness, tingling or paralysis
