HEADACHES GETTING IN THE WAY OF YOUR ROUTINE?
Physical Therapy at First Rehabilitation in North Palm Beach, FL Offers a Solution for Headache Relief
Do you suffer from chronic headaches or migraine-related pain? Are you looking for headache relief? If so, you might wonder exactly what contributes to your pain. Poor posture, stress, and other factors can cause you to experience weakness, strain, and injury to the neck muscles and joints. This pain radiates up into the scalp, side of the head, and even the forehead, depending on the area of the neck involved.
​
Headaches are the third most commonly reported source of pain across the world, so rest assured that you’re not alone if this is something you’re dealing with.
​
Most of the time, the common reaction is to take some form of pain-relieving medication. It’s true that physical therapy isn’t normally someone’s first thought when they have a headache, however, it can really help.
​
Medications may help to relieve pain in the short-term, but if you are constantly suffering from headaches or migraines, pain relief drugs will not provide you with the same long-term effects that physical therapy will.​
If you are in North Palm beach, FL and suffer from headaches, don’t hesitate to contact us. Whether they are acute and temporary or constant and chronic (such as migraines), headaches can all be treated with physical therapy at First Rehabilitation. Call our clinic today at (561) 624-426 for more information and to set up an appointment.

Musculoskeletal headaches
