Understanding Headaches & Neck Pain

Headaches and neck pain affect approximately one-third of the population, interfering with daily tasks and quality of life. These conditions are often interconnected, with neck tension frequently triggering headaches.

Tension Headaches

Often described as a tight band around the head, tension headaches can be triggered by poor posture, stress, and neck muscle tension.

Cervicogenic Headaches

These headaches originate from issues in the neck and can cause pain that radiates from the neck to the forehead and temples.

Chronic Neck Pain

Often resulting from poor posture, repetitive stress, or injuries, chronic neck pain can lead to reduced mobility and persistent discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about headaches, neck pain, and our treatment approaches.

How many sessions will I need?

Treatment plans vary based on individual needs and conditions. Many clients experience significant improvement within 4-6 sessions, while chronic conditions may require ongoing care. During your initial assessment, we'll develop a personalized treatment plan with clear expectations.

What's the difference between athletic therapy and massage therapy for headaches?

Athletic therapy focuses on rehabilitation, movement patterns, and exercises to address underlying biomechanical issues contributing to headaches and neck pain. Massage therapy targets muscle tension, trigger points, and soft tissue restrictions. Our integrated approach uses both to provide comprehensive treatment.

Will my extended health benefits cover these treatments?

Most extended health plans cover both athletic therapy and massage therapy services. We provide detailed receipts for insurance claims. We recommend checking with your insurance provider about your specific coverage details.

How can I prepare for my first appointment?

Daryl truly made me feel so at ease and listened to. He was chill and professional, asked all the right questions and the massage was exceptional. His holistic skillset is readily apparent, and I felt as though his intentionality set the tone for a really healing, helpful appointment. I found Sync purely by accident on a trip to Victoria, and I think it should be your first choice in town.
