Headaches

About 20% of American women and 10% of men will have reported a severe headache or migraine in the past 3 months (QuickStats: Percentage of Adults Who Had a Severe Headache or Migraine in the Past 3 Months, by Sex and Age Group — National Health Interview Survey, United States, 2018 | MMWR (cdc.gov)). Of those with headaches, 20-40% of those are coming from the neck, making it the most common type of severe headache reported (Cervicogenic Headache - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf (nih.gov)).

The great news is, Physical Therapy can make a dramatic difference in this group! Through a combination of thrust manipulation to the neck and mid back, self mobilization at home, and strengthening the upper back and neck muscles, physical therapists are the perfect option to reduce your headaches.
