Headache

Headaches are common, 2/3 of the Dutch population suffers from them at some point. Usually, headaches go away quickly and there is no reason to worry. Headaches are rarely caused by a serious condition. However, headaches can have a major impact on your daily life, day and night. If you often suffer from headaches, it is wise to seek help.

To resolve the symptoms and to know which treatment is best for you, it is good to know what type of headache you have.

We distinguish 3 types of primary headache:

  • Tension headache also known as tension type headache

  • Migraine

  • Cluster headache

Secondary headaches are caused by an underlying problem. This can include:

  • Neck complaints

  • Tension/stress

  • Overload of the jaw muscles

  • Whiplash

  • Neurohormonal disruption

  • Bad sleep

  • Chronic hyperventilation

  • Unfavorable (working) postures

Tension headache

The most common type of headache is tension headache.

This pain is caused by increased muscle tension in the neck and throat muscles. Often we also find trigger points (local hardening) in the muscles that can cause radiating pain.

Headaches can often be easily remedied.

What do clients say about us?

After a few trigger point treatments I am now free of my complaints. I am glad that the neurologist referred me.

Tonnie Verbeek

My headaches were found to be caused by incorrect breathing technique after measuring breathing, heart rate and muscle tension. By means of breathing training with an app I have control over my complaints.
