Headaches and Migraines
So often standard medicine treats headaches or migraines with painkillers, assuming the pain is temporary and will dissipate. Or it is assumed that a short course of physiotherapy may release muscle tensions, failing which surgery is the only option to correct neck and upper spinal issues that may cause headaches. Or there is no option offered other than to keep increasing painkillers with potential serious side effects.
Conditions which may be helped by osteopaths include:
• Headaches and migraines and trapped nerves
• Neck and shoulder pain
• Sports injuries
• Frozen shoulder
• Tennis elbow
• Jaw pain and bite problems
• Fractures and post-surgical conditions
e.g. knee ligament repair
At The Rêve Pavilion, we combine safe, non invasive therapies to diagnose and treat the original cause of the pain. For instance, dentists have long known that a misaligned TMJ (Jaw Joint) can cause symptons far removed from the joint location itself, including headaches.
And your skull is not just there to protect your brain. The skull is formed of no less than 22 minutely moving plates that move in harmony with the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, which nurtures the brain and spinal cord and supports many functions of the central nervous system. Faults in the cranial system affect the nerve and energy patterns of the whole body but some of the most common symptons include neck and upper spinal problems where many head pain problems start.
However, head pain can be the result of many interacting factors such as inflammation, mental and emotional stress, hormone imbalance and structural restriction.
At The Rêve Pavilion, we assume nothing. The Rêve Integrated Health System combines a myriad of therapies including Osteopathy, Chiropractic and Cranial Respiratory Function, first using advanced Applied Kinesiology techniques (Manual Muscle Testing) to diagnose the cause.
