Headache Treatment in Lowestoft

When headaches stop becoming ‘just one of those things’

Everyone gets the occasional headache, but when they become frequent they can begin to affect every part of your life. Work becomes harder, family time is less enjoyable and even the simplest tasks can feel overwhelming.

While headaches have many possible causes, tension in the muscles and joints of the neck and upper back can contribute for some people. Understanding whether that’s true in your case is the first step.

At Total Balance Wellbeing Centre we’ll take time to understand your symptoms and explain whether a musculoskeletal approach may be appropriate.

Looking beyond the headache

The place you feel pain isn’t always where the problem starts. Reduced movement in the neck, muscle tension around the shoulders and poor posture can sometimes contribute to recurring tension-type headaches.

During your assessment we’ll look at how your neck, shoulders and upper back are moving together, together with lifestyle factors that may be influencing your symptoms.

Finding the right approach

Where appropriate, your care may include gentle chiropractic treatment, osteomyology techniques, massage therapy and practical advice to help reduce muscular tension and improve comfortable movement.

Every recommendation is tailored to your individual needs and explained clearly before treatment begins.

Your first appointment

Your first appointment is all about understanding you. We’ll explore the history of your symptoms, identify any factors that influence them, and discuss the impact they’re having on your daily activities. A detailed head-to-toe assessment will then help us build a complete clinical picture.

After reviewing our findings, we’ll arrange a follow-up consultation to explain the results, answer your questions, and outline your treatment options. Where appropriate, treatment can often begin during the same visit.
