FAQ

Common questions

Can physiotherapy cure migraines?

Physiotherapy does not cure migraines, but it can reduce neck-related triggers. It works best alongside advice from your doctor.

How do I know if my headache comes from my neck?

Headaches that start at the back of the head, come with a stiff neck or get worse in certain neck positions often have a neck cause. Your assessment checks this.

Is dry needling used for headaches?

Often, yes. Releasing trigger points in the neck and shoulders can ease tension headaches.
