Our team understands that everyone is different, so we develop a unique, comprehensive approach to care for each and every patient.
Why Migraines Happen
Migraines and headaches have a number of triggers that are based on the type of migraine or headache the client has. Below are some of the most common triggers for migraines and headaches:
- Stress
- Muscle weakness/tightness
- Alcohol or drugs
- Sensory stimuli
- Medications
- Foods/food additives
- Sleeping difficulties
- Unknown factors
- A combination of factors
Some migraines and chronic headaches have clear causes, while others may have more murky stimuli. Our physical therapists can help you find the cause of your migraines, as well as develop some solutions or pain management treatments.

Why does physical therapy help with migraines?
Physical therapy helps by relaxing tight muscles in the neck and shoulders that can trigger migraines. It also improves posture and movement, reducing strain on the head and neck. This can decrease how often migraines happen and how severe they feel.
When can I expect to see improvement from physical therapy for migraines?
Many people notice fewer or less severe migraines within a few weeks of starting treatment, but this can vary based on the individual and how long they’ve had migraines. Speak with your physical therapist to determine a personalized timeline.
Why should I choose physical therapy instead of just medication for migraines?
Physical therapy offers a drug-free approach to managing migraines by addressing muscle tension and posture issues that medications might not fix. It can reduce reliance on medication and improve overall well-being.
Can lifestyle changes help prevent migraines?
Yes, lifestyle changes such as regular sleep, a healthy diet, stress management, regular exercise, and avoiding known triggers can help reduce migraine frequency and severity.
