Physical therapy for headaches in Ankeny

Headache Relief with personalized Physical Therapy

Recurring headaches can interrupt your workday, affect your sleep, and take the joy out of daily life. At Resilience Physical Therapy, we take a full-body approach to headache treatment. Instead of masking the pain, we focus on uncovering the cause—so we can help you feel better, move better, and get back to doing what you love.

what’s behind your headaches?

Many headaches are linked to tension, poor posture, and muscle imbalances—especially in the neck, shoulders, and jaw. We treat a wide range of headache-related conditions, including:

• Tension headaches

• Cervicogenic headaches (caused by neck dysfunction)

• TMJ-related headaches (jaw tension or misalignment)

• Whiplash and other neck injuries

• Tech neck and postural strain

• Muscle tightness due to stress

• Headaches following concussions

• Headaches related to surgical recovery

Not sure where your headaches are coming from? We’ll help you get answers and build a plan to address them at the source.

how Physical Therapy can help

Physical therapy is a safe, natural way to reduce headache frequency and intensity. Your treatment plan may include:

• Manual therapy to release tight muscles and improve neck and jaw mobility

• Dry needling to target trigger points and reduce tension

• Postural training to help you move more efficiently and avoid strain

• Targeted exercises to strengthen supporting muscles and improve alignment

• Education on ergonomics, stress reduction, and helpful daily habits

• A custom home exercise program to support long-term progress and prevention

By treating the root cause of your headaches, we help you feel better—not just temporarily, but for the long haul.
