Understanding your headache

Does this sound like you?

Common triggers include muscle strain, joint stiffness, poor posture and long desk hours. If two or more of these fit, a physiotherapy assessment can identify exactly what's driving it.

  • ✓ A dull ache or sharp, burning headache that keeps returning
  • ✓ Discomfort that worsens with movement, lifting or long sitting hours
  • ✓ Morning stiffness that eases as you move
  • ✓ Pain that limits work, sport or everyday activities
  • ✓ Recurring episodes that keep coming back

Most headache improves without surgery or long-term medication — the key is finding the cause first.

⚠ When to seek urgent medical care

Headache rarely signals something serious, but see a doctor immediately if it comes with:

  • Fever, unexplained weight loss, or a history of cancer
  • Numbness or weakness that keeps getting worse
  • Loss of bladder or bowel control
  • Pain after a major fall or accident

Our physios screen for these red flags at every first assessment and refer you to the right doctor if needed.

Headache, answered

Headaches are a common condition characterized by pain or discomfort in the head or neck region. They can vary in intensity and duration, and can significantly affect a person's daily activities and overall well-being.

There are different types of headaches, each with its own set of symptoms and causes. Here's an overview:

Tension headaches:
  • Symptoms: Mild to moderate pain that feels like a tight band around the head, pressure or squeezing sensation, dull aching pain, and tenderness in the scalp, neck, or shoulders.
  • Causes: Stress, muscle tension in the head and neck, poor posture, fatigue, eye strain, anxiety, dehydration.
Migraines:
  • Symptoms: Intense throbbing or pulsating pain, often on one side of the head, sensitivity to light, sound, or smells, nausea, vomiting, visual disturbances (e.g., aura), and light-headedness.
  • Causes: Exact causes are not fully understood, but triggers can include hormonal changes, certain foods (e.g., chocolate, cheese), alcohol, caffeine, stress, sensory stimuli, and changes in sleep patterns.
Cluster Headaches:
  • Symptoms: Excruciatingly severe, sharp, or burning pain, usually around one eye or temple, tearing or redness in the affected eye, stuffy or runny nose, restlessness, or agitation.
  • Causes: The precise cause is unknown, but abnormalities in the hypothalamus (part of the brain) are believed to play a role, as well as genetic factors and changes in blood flow.
Sinus Headaches:
  • Symptoms: Deep and constant pain in the forehead, cheekbones, or bridge of the nose, worsens with sudden head movements or bending forward, congestion, nasal discharge.
  • Causes: Inflammation or infection of the sinuses due to conditions like sinusitis, allergies, and nasal polyps.
Rebound headaches (medication overuse headaches):
  • Symptoms: Dull, persistent headache that occurs daily or almost daily, worsens with medication overuse, and can be accompanied by other withdrawal symptoms when stopping the medication.
  • Causes: Overuse or dependence on certain pain medications (e.g., opioids, triptans, analgesics) or headache medications themselves.
Hormonal headaches:
  • Symptoms: Headaches that occur in relation to hormonal fluctuations, such as during menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause, may resemble migraines or tension headaches.
  • Causes: Hormonal changes and imbalances, often related to the menstrual cycle or changes in reproductive stages.
MEDICAL HISTORY:
The physiotherapist provider will ask detailed questions about the headache symptoms, including the type of pain, frequency, duration, triggers, associated symptoms, and any relevant medical or family history.

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION:
A thorough physical examination may be performed to assess neurological function, check for signs of underlying conditions, and identify any specific areas of tenderness or abnormalities.

CT SCAN (COMPUTERIZED TOMOGRAPHY):
This imaging technique uses X-rays to create detailed cross-sectional images of the brain and can help identify abnormalities such as tumors, bleeding, or structural issues.

MRI (MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING):
MRI utilizes strong magnetic fields and radio waves to generate detailed images of the brain and surrounding structures. It provides more detailed information than a CT scan and is particularly useful for detecting certain conditions, such as brain tumors or vascular abnormalities.

BLOOD TESTS:
Blood tests may be conducted to check for underlying conditions or disorders that could be contributing to the headaches, such as infections, hormonal imbalances, or inflammatory markers.

LUMBAR PUNCTURE (SPINAL TAP):
In certain cases, a lumbar puncture may be recommended to analyze the cerebrospinal fluid for signs of infection, bleeding, or increased pressure.

NEUROLOGICAL EXAMINATION:
A neurological examination may be performed to evaluate the brain and nervous system, assessing reflexes, coordination, sensory function, and motor skills.

SPECIALIZED TESTS:
Depending on the suspected cause of the headache, additional specialized tests may be conducted, such as an EEG (electroencephalogram) to measure brain activity or an ophthalmologic examination to evaluate eye-related causes.
Cryotherapy:
Cold therapy, such as ice packs or cold compresses, can be applied to the head or neck area to help constrict blood vessels, reduce inflammation, and numb pain. Cold therapy can be useful for migraines or headaches caused by vascular dilation.

Thermotherapy:
Heat can be applied using various electrical modalities such as electric heating pads or infrared lamps. Heat therapy helps relax muscles, improve blood flow, and relieve tension in the head and neck, thus reducing headache symptoms.

Relaxation Techniques:
Physiotherapists may teach relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and guided imagery to help manage stress, reduce muscle tension, and alleviate headaches.

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS):
TENS involves the use of low-frequency electrical currents delivered through electrodes placed on the skin. It can help relieve pain by stimulating the sensory nerves and interfering with pain signals. TENS is often used for tension-type headaches and can provide temporary relief.

Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS):
EMS uses electrical impulses to stimulate the muscles, promoting muscle relaxation and reducing muscle tension. It can be beneficial for tension headaches associated with muscle tightness in the head, neck, and shoulder region.

Ultrasound Therapy:
Ultrasound therapy utilizes high-frequency sound waves to generate deep heat within the tissues. It can help relax muscles, improve blood circulation, and reduce headache symptoms by targeting specific areas of tension or trigger points.

Biofeedback:
While not directly an electrical modality, biofeedback techniques often incorporate electronic devices. Biofeedback involves monitoring physiological responses, such as muscle tension, heart rate, and skin temperature, and providing visual or auditory feedback to help individuals gain control over these responses. It can be helpful in managing stress-related headaches or migraines.

Manual Therapy:
Physiotherapists may use various hands-on techniques to address muscle tension, joint dysfunction, and postural imbalances that can contribute to headaches. This may include soft tissue mobilization, myofascial release, joint mobilization, and manual stretching techniques.

Therapeutic Exercises:
Specific exercises can help strengthen weak muscles, improve flexibility, and promote proper movement patterns. These exercises are tailored to the individual's needs and may include neck and shoulder strengthening exercises, stretching exercises, and relaxation techniques.

Neck and Upper Back Mobilization:
Physiotherapists may perform gentle mobilization techniques on the neck and upper back to restore normal joint movement and reduce tension in the surrounding muscles.

Physiotherapists provide education on headache triggers, stress management techniques, and lifestyle modifications to help individuals prevent or manage their headaches. This may include recommendations for maintaining a regular sleep schedule, practicing relaxation techniques, managing workload and stress levels, and incorporating regular physical activity. Physiotherapists can assess and address postural abnormalities or ergonomic factors that may contribute to headaches. They provide education on maintaining proper posture during activities such as sitting, working at a computer, and lifting heavy objects to minimize strain on the neck and upper back muscles.
