Learn about headaches symptoms, causes, and treatments. FisioCenter Tirana provides the best information to make you understand the reason behind your headache and get professional help.
Headache affects about 47% of the world’s population so everyone appears to suffer from chronic head discomfort at some point in their lives. Some types of headaches are as simple as a tingling in the temples that comes and goes. Others may be so painful that they sentence you to a darkish bedroom for hours or maybe days at a time.
Headaches can be extremely disruptive to our daily lives, and ignoring the problem will have long-term consequences. Reliance on over-the-counter medications will not only limit their effectiveness in treating all sorts of pain, but it will also increase the risk of addiction, liver problems, and allow the underlying reason to become more firmly embedded. But, does physiotherapy provide relief for headaches?
Absolutely, YES! Physiotherapy is one of the most effective treatments for headaches and for sure it can make a difference in your life. For everybody with a headache presentation, FisioCenter Tirana strives for the gold standard in clinical care and high-quality outcomes.

A headache is a complicated form of pain. Many people complain of pain or tightness in the top of their neck when they have a headache. The discomfort may spread to the back of the head, the temples, the forehead, or behind the eyes as it gets worse.
Moving the neck or bending forward for an extended period tends to aggravate the condition. This occurs because the nerves in your upper neck are linked to the nerves in your head and face. Referred pain to the head can be caused by a problem with the upper neck joints or muscles.

Common symptoms of a headache include:
Headaches do not appear out of nowhere. Discomfort is usually induced by something in the body, and headaches are no exception. The goal is to figure out why you’re in pain.
A multitude of things can induce headaches, which might come suddenly or gradually. The severity and nature of your symptoms might range from moderate stiffness to more serious symptoms that can interfere with your professional and personal life.
The first step in classifying a headache is to figure out if it’s main or secondary. A primary headache is one in which the headache is the main symptom and pain is a symptom of the headache. A secondary headache occurs when the pain is a symptom of an underlying issue that must be treated to relieve the discomfort.
Headaches are categorized into three categories below:
Pain in the head, jaw, forehead, ears, or back of the eyes is usually related to the top three cervical vertebrae. Patients are often between the ages of 20 and 60, however, it can affect anyone at any age. Manual treatment for headaches is an effective form of physiotherapy. Neck pain and stiffness in the morning, as well as nausea and dizziness, are possible symptoms. Headache sufferers will benefit from manual therapy at the base of their skull and throughout their neck region.
A tension headache affects the entire head and feels like a tight band has been twisted around it. Tension headaches are caused by strained muscles in the head and neck and can continue for hours or even days. The pressure can spread to the back of your neck and generate soreness in the forehead, making them confused for migraines.
Migraine pain will only affect one side of your head: the left or right. A migraine rarely wraps around your entire head. This one-sided headache is a disorder that can recur unless it is treated. Throbbing, nausea, noise and light sensitivity, and difficulty focusing are common symptoms. A reduction in serotonin levels is the most common contributing factor to this type of headache.
A detailed interview and physical assessment are the first steps in any consultation for patients suffering from headaches, to rule out any causes or types of headache that may not be appropriate for physiotherapy treatment and to establish baseline measurements to track the patient’s progress. Following the evaluation, the patient’s treatment begins, which usually entails using specialized manual therapy techniques to the patient’s cervical spine.
