Chronic Headache & Pain Treatment
Do you suffer from the following:
​​
​Chronic headaches aren't something you should just learn to live with. At Swift, we dig into the musculoskeletal and neurological drivers behind your pain, whether it's cervicogenic headaches, tension headaches, or persistent pain that hasn't responded to other treatments. Our targeted program identifies what's actually causing your symptoms and treats it at the source, not just the surface.
4 Step Process
Phase 1: Education
We will spend time with you to educate on headaches. Along with education, we need to find the root cause of your headaches so we can create the best plan for you.
​
Phase 2: Diagnose and Treat
After an in-depth history and evaluation, your customized treatments will be recommended based on all potential areas of interest. The goal of this phase is to jumpstart strong healing cascades within chronically injured or irritated areas that are known to trigger headaches and migraine episodes.
For the best results, your plan will include a unique combination of the following customized treatments:
-
Dry needling (perineural, periosteal, protocol-based)
-
Osteopractic spinal manipulation
-
Osteopractic extremity manipulation
-
IASTM (cupping, Graston, body tempering)
-
Neuromuscular re-education
-
Prescribed exercise program for home
Phase 3: Transition to Strength
Treatments are given at a lower frequency. This period aims to maintain tissue balance while patients re-integrate activities or known triggers they may have been avoiding before. This is the phase where strength training will also begin to help with tissue growth and the generation of new brain activity.
​
Phase 4: Maintain
This phase involves periodic “tune-up” treatment sessions on an as-needed basis to sustain the progress made in the earlier phases and offset ongoing life factors that may continue to challenge you. The frequency of maintenance sessions is determined based on individual patient requirements.
