Understanding Migraine Pain
One significant contributor to migraine pain is the tension held in the body, particularly in the neck and shoulders.
This tension can irritate the nerves in the head and neck, creating a “vicious cycle” that exacerbates pain.
The neck plays a crucial role in migraine pain.
Tension in the neck and shoulder muscles can lead to nerve irritation, which intensifies migraine symptoms. This cycle of tension and pain can be difficult to interrupt without targeted intervention.
How Can Osteopathy Help With Migraines?
Osteopathy offers a holistic approach to managing migraines by addressing the underlying musculoskeletal issues. At Spritely Osteopathy in Cambridge, our treatments focus on:
- Reducing Muscle Tension: By alleviating tension in the irritated muscles of the neck and shoulders, we can help break the cycle of nerve irritation and reduce pain.
- Gentle Manipulation: We use gentle manipulation techniques to improve the mobility of neck joints, further relieving tension and promoting natural healing.
- Personalised Treatment Plans: A short course of treatment can help break the cycle of pain, remove unresolved neck strains, and significantly reduce the intensity and frequency of migraines.
With osteopathic care, many patients find that their migraines become less intense and occur less frequently. Often, migraines become a rare occurrence rather than a weekly or daily event.
