Headaches
The National Health Service claims 10 million people in the UK get headaches regularly, making them one of the most common health complaints and one of the main complaints in the Governing Function Osteopathic clinic.
Headache Treatment in Cardiff
At Governing Function Pain and Rehabilitation Clinic in Cardiff city centre, we provide professional assessment and management strategies for people experiencing headaches and neck-related discomfort.
Our approach combines osteopathy, neurology, and functional rehabilitation to help identify and address the factors that may be contributing to your symptoms.
Understanding Headaches
Headaches are very common and can have many different causes. While some are related to dehydration, fatigue, or vision issues, others may be linked to muscle tension, joint restriction, or postural strain in the neck, upper back, and jaw.
Osteopathic care may help to relieve mechanical stress and improve function in these regions, supporting better movement and comfort.
We always work safely and professionally, and we will refer you to your GP or another healthcare provider if we believe your symptoms require further medical investigation.
Common types of headaches we may assist with include:
Tension-type headaches associated with muscle and postural strain
Neck-related (cervicogenic) headaches
Jaw or temporomandibular (TMJ) tension headaches
Stress-related or muscular headaches
Our Approach to Care
At Governing Function, your first consultation involves a detailed discussion of your symptoms and medical history, followed by a comprehensive physical and neurological assessment.
This helps us understand how your neck, shoulders, jaw, and posture may be contributing to your headache symptoms.
Treatment may include:
Osteopathic techniques to ease muscle and joint tension
Proprioceptive Deep Tendon Reflex (PDTR) to address underlying neurological imbalances
Rehabilitation exercises to improve movement and posture
Lifestyle and self-care advice to reduce recurrence and improve resilience
Our goal is to help reduce contributing tension, restore balanced movement, and support your overall wellbeing.
