Headache and Migraine Physical Therapists in Lincoln

Frequent headaches and migraines can be a challenge to treat. Some headaches are caused by issues with our muscles and joints. Horizon Physical Therapy can evaluate your symptoms and show you what musculoskeletal issues are causing your headaches and look for a treatment for quick headache and migraine relief. If you have a persistent headache,  schedule an appointment to get an evaluation from one of our physical therapists.

How can physical therapy help relieve headaches and migraines?

Muscle tension and tightness, disc pathology, poor posture, shoulder blade pain, lack of motion in your neck can all cause headaches or migraines and can all be treated by Physical Therapy. By treating the underlying issue can help us find your headache and migraine relief.

Pain of any type that occurs in any part of the head is called a headache. There are many different types of headaches, with just as many causes. The International Headache Society describes several different categories of headache:

  • Tension-type
  • Migraine and cluster
  • Secondary headaches from an underlying condition, such as fever, infectious disease, sinus disorder, or in rare cases, a tumor or more serious illness
  • Cranial neuralgias, facial pain, and other headaches

Most headaches are harmless and resolve on their own, although severe headaches that recur frequently can affect your ability to do your daily activities and can reduce your quality of life.

There is effective treatment for almost every type of headache. The challenge lies in determining the type of headache, its cause, and in developing an appropriate treatment plan that will reduce both its frequency and intensity. Physical therapists can help determine the type of headache you have and are experts in managing pain from tension-type headaches.

How quickly will my headache be relieved?

Depending on your evaluation and the condition some patients experience pain relief within their first few appointments. There’s even a chance you walk in with a headache and leave relieved. However, some patients require a few weeks of therapy to correct and address more severe motion and strength issues.

If you have daily or weekly headaches come to Horizon Physical Therapy and speak with one of our Physical Therapists about your condition. We can give you an evaluation with a plan for treatment for your headaches and migraines. If you’ve tried other options to relieve headache pain then it’s worth giving us a call.

Feeling Better and Having Less Migraines

I've come to Horizon to address a few different health issues and every time I've been so thankful and grateful for all of the staff's help.  I've had good outcomes every time.  They are simply wonderful!  I really am happy to have crossed paths with Tara.  It was obvious she loves what she does and cares about her clients.  She's the best!  Thank you!  -And feeling better and having less migraines is the cherry on top of the cake!

Friendly, Considerate, and Helpful Team

I was extremely please with the services provided by the pleasant and professional staff at Horizon Physical Therapy. I have received treatment from the team there for 9 months. Now, Thanks to the team's efforts and my home exercises, I am pain-free! The team is friendly, considerate, and helpful in terms of healing, teaching home exercises, and explaining all of the processes during treatments. Functional dry needling recently resolved my pain in a key area as well! I highly recommend Horizon Physical Therapy!

By Far The Best

I've been to a couple PTs in my life and Shane & his staff are by far the best. They are so caring & their therapies are very comprehensive. They educate & train you on the root of your issue, not just treat your ailments. I saw Shane for plantar fasciitis. He was able to relieve my pain & help me adjust the reason for my symptoms. I would highly suggest Horizon PT to anyone in Lincoln!

LET’S DO IT!

I have had sciatic nerve pain for a long time, this time was awful.  I came to Horizon, two great people worked with me.  After a few weeks, the pain was still bad.  Shane sat down with me and told me he wanted to try something new that he has had good luck with, it was called dry needling.  I said yes- let's do it!  I had no pain with it, it didn't take long either.  I got up-dropped my cane and walked out of the room with NO PAIN.  It's been over two months and I still have no pain.

Expertise

Shane & Jessica were able to determine what needed to be done to alleviate my foot pain and get me on track with the necessary exercises to maintain good "foot health."  I appreciate their expertise along with coaching in overall foot and hip exercise.

An added bonus is that my hips and lower back feel better too!  Looking forward to continuing an exercise program at Horizon.

Back to Activity

I hurt my shoulder last April & muddled through the summer, and then started PT.  Shane tried a lot of different things with little relief so he referred me to Tara.  She is great!  Patiently worked through a series of exercises & stretches, to relieve the pain and get me back to activity.

Faster Recovery

My recovery after ankle surgery was benefited greatly by my experience with Horizon.  I was very impressed with the progression of care and the focus on localized issues moving to larger muscle groups and later to inter-related systems that provide a long-term holistic approach to treatment.  This was my second ankle surgery on the same foot, and my recovery was faster and I am stronger and more balance this round in no small part to the work by the Horizon Team.

She Fixed It

Dr. Tara helped me out a lot.  I lived with pain for about 3-4 years in my neck.  She fixed it.

I stayed guarded so I don't injure myself; but it is very reassuring to know she's here.
