Physiotherapy for cervicogenic headache, tension headache, and migraine prevention.
Recurring headaches that start at the base of the skull and radiate forward or behind one eye (cervicogenic), band-like tightness around the head (tension-type), or throbbing unilateral pain with nausea, sensitivity to light and sound (migraine). Patients often report neck stiffness before headache onset, trigger sensitivity to stress, screen exposure or specific postures. Sleep disturbance, difficulty concentrating during work, and frequent painkiller use are common. Migraines may occur 4–15 times per month in chronic cases.
Cervicogenic headaches originate from dysfunction in the upper cervical joints (C1–C3), tight sub-occipital muscles, and forward head posture. Tension headaches result from prolonged muscle contraction, stress, and poor ergonomics. Migraines have neurovascular and genetic components triggered by hormonal changes, certain foods, dehydration, sleep disruption, or environmental stimuli. In Bengaluru, prolonged screen exposure, air-conditioning, and long commutes are frequent triggers.
Chronic Headache & Migraine Relief affects thousands of patients across Bengaluru each year, disrupting work, sleep, and daily activity. Left untreated, it can compound into chronic pain, reduced mobility, and downstream issues in adjacent joints. Our physiotherapists at Pro Physiotherapy in JP Nagar, Bengaluru use a diagnostic-first approach — we assess your specific presentation before prescribing a treatment plan tailored to your body and lifestyle.
Our physiotherapy approach targets upper cervical joint dysfunction through gentle mobilization, sub-occipital release, deep neck flexor training, and trigger-point dry needling for the temporalis and upper trapezius. We use cranial mobilization, biofeedback for stress-related tension, breathing retraining, and neck-specific strengthening. Every patient receives a headache diary, trigger identification, sleep hygiene coaching, and ergonomic recommendations. Coordination with neurologists is done for medication-resistant cases.
