Attention headache sufferers!

Headaches can be caused by several conditions.  Sometimes, headaches may be caused by musculoskeletal pathology of the spine.

A recent study published in the Journal of Sports and Orthopedic Physical Therapy (Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 2013, Volume: 43 Issue: 10 Pages: 693-699 doi:10.2519/jospt.2013.4868) showed that Manual Therapy, a treatment provided at ProForm Physical Therapy, and exercises designed to improve cervical flexor endurance helped to significantly decrease the frequency of chronic tension headaches.

This study demonstrates findings consistent with our experience in practice.  We have treated many patients that suffer from chronic headaches and we have been able to significantly decrease their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
