Osteopathic Works

Neck Pain and Headaches

Neck pain and headaches often go hand in hand.  Stress, trauma, poor posture, heavy lifting and sinus problems are some common triggers that lead to tension in the neck and shoulders.  Often patients will describe tenderness and restriction in the neck muscles, under the base of the skull and sometimes in the forehead, jaw and face.

Ongoing muscle and joint tightness restricts nerves, blood and lymphatic flow.  This poor circulation prevents the transport of oxygen delivery and the removal of waste products which creates more pain and discomfort.

Osteopathic Works will identify and diagnose areas of dysfunction within your body that are causing your neck pain or headache.  It is important that we understand what type of headache you experience in order to devise the best treatment plan.  We also offer a range of products including ergonomic pillows to help your condition.
