Headache and Migraine Therapy at Dosher PT

Lasting Relief from Head Pain Without Relying on Medication

If chronic headaches or migraines are interfering with your daily life, you’re not alone – and you don’t have to rely solely on medication to manage your symptoms. At Dosher Physical Therapy, we offer specialized headache and migraine therapy to treat the root causes of your pain and help you regain control of your life. Our approach is hands-on, personalized, and focused on long-term relief.

Understanding Headaches and Migraines

There are many different types of headaches, and physical therapy can be highly effective in managing several of them, especially when they’re related to muscular tension, joint dysfunction, posture, or nerve irritation.

We commonly treat:

Tension Headaches – Often caused by tightness in the neck, shoulders, or jaw
Cervicogenic Headaches – Referred pain from dysfunction in the neck or cervical spine
Migraines – Neurologically based headaches often triggered by muscle tension, poor posture, or stress
TMJ-Related Headaches – Jaw dysfunction that contributes to head and facial pain
Postural Headaches – Common in desk workers, students, and others with prolonged screen time

What to Expect from Headache and Migraine Therapy

Our therapists begin with a thorough assessment of your symptoms, posture, movement patterns, and muscle tension. From there, we develop a customized plan that may include:

Manual Therapy Techniques

Gentle, hands-on techniques to release muscle tension, reduce nerve irritation, and improve joint mobility in the neck, shoulders, and jaw.

Postural Training

We identify and correct poor posture that may be contributing to tension and nerve compression, especially in the cervical spine.

Trigger Point Release and Myofascial Techniques

Targeting sensitive areas of tight muscle fibers that can refer pain to the head and face.

Stretching and Strengthening Exercises

Improving flexibility and muscle balance to prevent recurring strain in the neck and upper back.

Stress and Tension Management

We teach strategies for managing stress through movement, relaxation techniques, and better breathing mechanics.
