Headaches & Neck Tension
Could Your Neck Be Contributing To Your Headaches?
Headaches aren't always just about your head. Tension in the neck, jaw, and surrounding muscles can contribute to certain types of headaches, creating discomfort that may extend beyond where the pain is felt.
At Princeton Osteo, Johngarret takes an individualized, hands-on approach to understanding how these areas work together. Combining osteopathic manual therapy, craniosacral techniques, and gentle pumping techniques, he focuses on addressing muscular tension and restricted movement, with treatment tailored to each client's needs.
Head and neck discomfort can take many forms. From persistent pressure and recurring headaches to dizziness and tension around the jaw, understanding where symptoms originate is an important part of finding the right approach.
Common Reasons People Seek Craniosacral Therapy
Headaches & Migraines
Recurring headaches and migraines can interfere with everyday life. Neck and muscular tension may contribute to some headache patterns, and manual therapy may be considered as part of a broader care plan.
Vertigo & Dizziness
Dizziness and vertigo can arise from several different conditions. When appropriate, Johngarret can assess associated neck tension and movement restrictions, working alongside medical care rather than replacing evaluation of the underlying cause.
Sinus & Facial Pressure
Pressure around the forehead, cheeks, and eyes can have several causes, including allergies, sinus conditions, and muscular tension. Johngarret evaluates the head, neck, and surrounding structures to identify musculoskeletal factors that may be contributing to discomfort.
Neck, Jaw & Cranial Tension
Tightness at the base of the skull, restricted neck movement, and jaw tension can affect everyday comfort. Osteopathic manual therapy, craniosacral techniques, and gentle pumping techniques may be incorporated into an individualized session to address musculoskeletal tension and mobility.
