Physical Therapy Treatment of Headaches
Headaches can be one of the most common sources of daily pain. There are many different types of headaches and our physical therapists can help identify the type and cause. The most commonly treated types of headaches are tension, migraine, and cluster. While most headaches are harmless and resolve on their own, individuals can suffer from chronic headaches that can affect activities of daily living.
Causes of Headaches
There are many causes of headaches, but often they may be linked to a neck or jaw problem, muscle tension, poor posture, fatigue, or stress.
Treatment
Your physical
therapist will conduct a thorough examination that includes a review of your
health history. They will ask you questions and perform tests to determine the
most likely cause of your headaches.
In addition,
your physical therapist will:
Perform tests of muscle strength and sensation
Examine your posture when sitting, standing, and performing various tasks
Measure the range of motion of your neck, shoulders, and other relevant parts of your body
Use manual therapy to evaluate the mobility of the joints and muscles in your neck
If it is found
that your headaches may be related to a physical impairment, your physical
therapist will work with you to correct the potential root cause of your
headaches, teach you how to manage and prevent them from coming back by:
Improving neck and joint mobility
Improving strength and muscle imbalances
Improving posture
Reducing stress
Improving workstation ergonomics

Y'all are so nice, courteous, and professional. I wouldn't consider going anywhere else, even though we live in Somerset. You've operated on me and my wife and we brag on you to everyone who asks where we had it done. Y'all are on top...Y'all are so nice, courteous, and professional.

Dr. Lockstadt, is an excellent physcian. He has been diligent in trying to find the source of my pain and has not given up and I am so grateful. I highly recommend him.

It was the day after Christmas and my daughter kept asking me to ride her new hover board she had gotten, and I kept saying, “No I will fall off of it”.

She kept insisting I ride it and you probably know where this story is going. To make a long story short, I rode it and fell off of it breaking the radial head in multiple pieces. This happened around 9:00 pm and I had already made up my mind after it happened that I was not going to the emergency room that night as the pain was minimal. I knew first thing the next morning I was going to call Bluegrass Orthpeodics. The only opening they had was for the clinic in Georgetown and without any hesitation I said I will take it. It is well worth the two plus hours it takes to get there from my hometown. The x-ray confirmed the fracture and they scheduled and MRI and appointment with Dr. Donegan. Needless to say he explained the procedure and how he was going to try and put the fragments back together, if not he would have to put an implant in for my radial head. He answered all my questions and explained everything thoroughly. Central Baptist was awesome as it was an outpatient procedure and everything went great. I cannot say enough good things about Dr Donegan and the staff at BO. I would refer any of my family and friends. Thankfully my movement is as well as it was prior to the accident if not better..Very satisfied and grateful.

I was very pleased with the care received by Dr. Christensen and his staff. He had been highly recommended to me for several years by many people, including another orthopedist in another practice.
