The new approach of one Littleton based physical therapist may provide the answer for those of you suffering from chronic headaches.

Physical therapist Scott Musgrave performs specialized treatments that focus upon balancing your nervous system and restoring harmony between your body and brain.

Many factors have been identified that can cause headaches including poor posture, tight muscles, stress and muscular weakness. Common complaints of folks who suffer from chronic headaches include constant muscle soreness and tension, jaw pain, eye strain, fatigue, decreased ability to focus and difficulty achieving relaxation.

"I believe that one chief cause of chronic headaches lies within an imbalance between the brain and body," said Musgrave. "This imbalance leaves the subconscious brain overly protective and initiates muscular patterns of tightness within the body."

Musgrave adds, "These patterns of muscular tightness often precede the onset of chronic headaches. By utilizing specialized techniques that create a balance between the body and brain, we can quickly correct the patterns of muscular tightness that contribute to the onset of chronic headaches," said Musgrave.

Correcting these patterns can often result in the reduction or elimination of episodic headaches. "The bottom line," said Musgrave "is when we can achieve a balance to the neurological system, the physiological system often falls right into place. Many times this pattern change is all that is required to reset the system and return the body to normal function without pain."

The treatments are gentle and relaxing, taking from 30 minutes to one hour depending on the severity of symptoms. Many patients report significant symptom reduction after only two to four sessions.

"My mission is to achieve more than merely reducing your headaches, but to also educate each of you with self management techniques to re-balance your own nervous systems," said Musgrave. "Only in this way can we navigate our stressful world in balance and not just survive, but begin to actually THRIVE!"
