Don’t Settle for Headache Pain – Find Relief with Manual Therapy
Headache & Migraine treatment in Victoria, BC
Do you have a chronic headache or migraine-related pain? If you do, you might wonder exactly what contributes to your pain.
Bad posture, stress, and other factors may cause weakness, strain, and injury to the muscles and joints of the neck. The pain can radiate through the scalp, the side of the head, and even the forehead, depending on the area of the body.
Headaches are the third most commonly recorded cause of pain in the world, so you may find some relief in knowing that you’re not alone in this if it’s something you’re dealing with.
Most of the time if you have a headache, a pain-relieving medicine might be your go-to. We know that manual therapy typically isn’t necessarily someone’s first thought when they have a headache, but it can really help!
Medications can help to relieve pain in the short term, but if you have chronic headaches or migraines, pain relief medications will not give you the same long-term benefits that manual therapy can.
Our wellness clinic offers tension headache and migraine treatment in Victoria, BC. We offer a variety of treatments that work on the bones, joints muscles, and fascia of the head, neck, and supporting structures, to help you find relief.

How can manual therapy help me?
For some types of headaches, manual therapy may be included as part of an individualized treatment plan to help:
- Reduce headache intensity and frequency
- Improve neck mobility and range of motion
- Reduce pain and muscle tension
- Improve function and everyday movement
- Support an improved quality of life
At Jenna Howe Osteopathy and Concussion Recovery in Victoria, BC, we are committed to providing you with the best treatment for your headaches.
At your initial appointment, one of our highly qualified osteopathic therapists will perform a physical exam and ask you questions about your health history and symptoms, in order to assess what sort of headache you are having and where the pain comes from.
A treatment plan will then be tailored specifically for you and your rehabilitation, most likely including targeted workouts, manual therapy, and patient education to help minimize the number of headaches you will end up having in the future.
Remember that no two patients are alike, and neither are two treatment plans! The only way to find out what a therapist will recommend for your headache pain is to book an appointment with one.
