Headaches are one of the most common reasons people seek Physical Therapy assistance. As documented in a recent study from the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, “(in one year) more than 3 million Americans went to hospital emergency rooms seeking relief from headaches and there were 81,000 hospitals admissions… one third of the emergency visits and two thirds of the hospital stays were for migraine headaches.”

At RADIANT PHYSICAL THERAPY, we recognize that headaches are often debilitating, and interfere with your ability to work, play, and love. Headaches can be caused from multiple sources, such as tension in the neck, or imbalanced pressures in the skull, or from hormonal imbalances, or from eye strain. There are hands-on techniques to eliminate or lessen the instigating factors, including craniosacral, neuromeningeal, myofascial release, and trigger point release, to name a few. In addition to using hand treatments, Anita Lendach (MSPT, WCS, Licensed Physical Therapist, and Women’s Health Specialist) will show you how to use yours to care for yourself so you can get rid of your own headaches. Also, there are exercises or tips or even taping which can decrease unwanted tension. Many persons have been able to totally eliminate their headaches with these techniques.
