Muscular tension headache, migraine, cluster, CMD

Many forms of headaches are perfectly treatable!

Headaches can have a serious impact on your daily life. Whether it’s migraines, muscle tension headaches, or headaches related to the neck or jaw, at PhysioMCN we understand that each type of headache requires a unique approach. Our specialized professionals have more than 40 years of experience and offer a wide range of effective treatments.

Holistic Approach: At PhysioMCN, we believe in a holistic approach where we look at both physical and psychological factors that contribute to headaches. Our therapies integrate medical knowledge with psychosomatic approaches, such as stress management, awareness of body and mind, and breathing techniques. This allows us to not only treat the symptoms, but also address the underlying causes.

Collaboration with Headache Center: As part of the Headache Center Upper IJ Hospital, we work closely with neurologists, headache nurses and pediatricians. This provides an integrated approach combining expertise in both medical and physical therapy treatments.

Headache

Treatment

In the treatment of headache symptoms by an experienced physical therapist at Physical Therapy MCN, where several effective techniques are combined, the following approaches are often used:

  1. Manual Therapy: Improving mobility and reducing muscle tension through gentle manipulations and mobilizations. We also apply the Watson method.

  2. Trigger point therapy: Focuses on relaxing painful muscles that contribute to headaches.

  3. Relaxation techniques: Breathing exercises and progressive muscle relaxation to reduce stress and tension.

  4. Exercise Therapy: Specific exercises for posture correction, neck and shoulder strengthening, and flexibility.

  5. Lifestyle advice: ergonomic adjustments, sleep hygiene and stress management to promote overall health.

  6. Holistic Approach: Integration of various techniques tailored to the individual needs of the patient. Treatment using hypnosis techniques makes our approach unique.

This combination of techniques provides a personalized approach that addresses both physical and mental aspects of headaches, with special attention to sensitivities in people with MCN.

Experiences at
PhysioMCN

“First of all, I really liked the first conversation. I was listened to and given clear information. After many wanderings through doctors and therapists, I was finally referred to MCN by my neurologist. After four treatments I was completely free of the headache symptoms…thanks for this!”
