For migraines with a cervical component, physiotherapy typically reduces frequency and severity significantly, but migraine management usually requires a multi-disciplinary approach, including medical and lifestyle factors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Q: How many physiotherapy sessions are needed for headache treatment?<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Most patients with cervicogenic headache respond within 6\u201310 sessions over 6\u20138 weeks. Results are often evident within the first 2\u20133 sessions. Migraine patients with cervical involvement may need a longer programme.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Q: Should I stop my migraine medication if I start physiotherapy?<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: No. Physiotherapy and medication are complementary, not mutually exclusive. Discuss any medication changes with your neurologist. Many patients find they need less medication as their cervical function improves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Q: Can tension headaches also be treated with physiotherapy?<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Yes \u2014 tension headaches have a strong muscular and cervical component and respond very well to physiotherapy, particularly trigger point dry needling to the trapezius and suboccipital muscles.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>The Bottom Line<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have headaches \u2014 particularly ones that seem linked to neck posture, stress, or sustained cervical positions \u2014 you may have a significant cervical component that has never been treated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physiotherapy can do something no painkiller can: <\/span><b>remove the underlying driver of the pain<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, rather than simply masking it.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ready to Start Your Recovery?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Book your consultation at AlignBody \u2014 Delhi&#8217;s trusted physiotherapy clinic<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">East Delhi: Jagriti Enclave\u00a0 |\u00a0 South Delhi: Vasant Vihar<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>+91 9310 014 226\u00a0 |\u00a0 alignbody.in\/contacts\/<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>About the Author<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Dr. Richa Gupta<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 Founder &amp; MD, AlignBody Physiotherapy Clinic, Delhi<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">14+ years clinical experience.
