Headaches
A headache is a symptom rather than a single diagnosis. Its type and potentially dangerous causes must be considered before discussing adjunctive approaches.
Understanding the concern
What to know before booking
Headache may accompany migraine, tension-type headache, sleep disturbance, infection, blood-pressure changes, eye or neck conditions and many other problems. Location alone is not a reliable self-diagnostic tool.
The consultation reviews frequency, duration, triggers, aura, nausea, medication response and neurological symptoms. Neck and shoulder tension may be assessed, but is not assumed to explain every headache.
For a diagnosed primary headache and where appropriate, gentle work with functional restrictions may complement a neurologist’s plan. A headache diary helps assess attack frequency and response objectively.
FROM A CONSULTATION TO EVERYDAY SKILLS
Knowledge that stays with you after a session
You spend almost all your time outside the consulting room — at work, on the move and caring for loved ones. Alongside consultations, we focus on education: understanding your body and using the skills you learn in everyday life.
Learn skills for yourself and your loved ones
At Doctor Pervushkin’s seminars, you explore self-care techniques with a teacher and learn skills for looking after yourself and your loved ones. Choose a topic and ask a qualified practitioner which practices are appropriate for your condition.
Seek urgent medical care or call emergency services for:
!a sudden, maximal-intensity headache
!speech, vision or balance disturbance, limb weakness or confusion
!headache after head injury, with high fever, stiff neck or repeated vomiting
Patient questions
Key questions
Can migraine be treated with osteopathy alone?+
No. Migraine requires a correct diagnosis and a plan that may include acute and preventive treatment. Osteopathic consultation is considered only as a possible adjunct.
How should I prepare?+
Record frequency, duration, associated symptoms and medication use over recent weeks, and bring previous investigation results.
When is a neurologist needed?+
For new, increasing or changed headaches, neurological symptoms or failure of usual treatment. Red flags require urgent rather than routine care.
