Common Causes of Head Pain

Head symptoms can result from various conditions, including concussions and vestibular disorders. Concussions are mild traumatic brain injuries caused by impact or shaking, which lead to headaches, dizziness, and cognitive issues. Vestibular disorders, such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), cause dizziness and balance issues.

Migraines and tension-type headaches are other common sources of head pain, often influenced by stress, posture, or other factors.

How Physical Therapists Treat Head Pain

Physical therapists treat head pain with targeted approaches depending on the underlying condition. For concussions and vestibular disorders, therapy may include vestibular rehabilitation exercises to improve balance and reduce dizziness. Manual therapy techniques can help alleviate tension headaches by addressing neck and upper back issues. Therapists may also provide education on posture, stress management, and ergonomic adjustments to prevent headaches and improve overall well-being.
