If you are seeking relief from headaches and migraines, Holistic Physio and Wellness offers effective solutions. Headaches are a common issue affecting a significant portion of the population, and they can have a profound impact on your quality of life.

There are different types of headaches, each with its own distinct characteristics and underlying causes. Understanding the specific type of headache you are experiencing can help guide the most appropriate treatment approach. Here are some common types of headaches:

Tension Headaches: Tension headaches are the most common type and often present as a dull, aching pain or pressure around the head. They can be caused by muscle tension and stress, and may be associated with poor posture or mental/emotional factors.

Migraines: Migraines are severe headaches that are often accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and visual disturbances. They can be disabling and impact daily activities. Migraines are believed to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, and specific triggers can vary from person to person.

Cluster Headaches: Cluster headaches are characterized by severe, excruciating pain on one side of the head, typically around the eye. They occur in clusters or groups, with multiple headaches happening over a period of weeks or months, followed by a headache-free period. Cluster headaches are relatively rare but can be extremely debilitating.

Cervicogenic Headaches: Cervicogenic headaches originate from issues in the cervical spine (neck) and are often associated with neck pain or stiffness. These headaches can be caused by poor posture, neck injuries, or underlying cervical spine conditions.
