Cervicocranial treatment, also known as cervicocranial dysfunction treatment, is a therapeutic approach that focuses on addressing issues related to the neck (cervical spine) and the head (cranial region). The treatment aims to alleviate pain, discomfort, and dysfunction caused by problems in this area.
The cervical spine, which consists of seven vertebrae in the neck, is closely connected to the head and plays a significant role in supporting the head’s movement and maintaining proper posture. Dysfunction in this region can lead to various symptoms, such as headaches, migraines, tinnitus, neck pain, jaw pain (TMJ Disorder), dizziness, and even referred pain to other parts of the body.
Cervicocranial treatment typically involves a combination of techniques, including manual therapy, exercises, and postural adjustments and use of modalities such as Low Level Laser or Electro Dry Needling. The goal is to restore proper alignment and movement of the cervical spine, reduce muscle tension, and improve overall function.
