Headaches and migraines<\/h1>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Ouch! Always these headaches\u2026 How annoying is that?! We know better than anyone how this can affect you whilst carrying out your daily activities. Fortunately, FRISKFYSIO Amstelveen is here to help! Do you suffer from persistent or recurring headaches? Read below to find out when you should seek immediate medical attention. For symptoms without any warning signs, we\u2019d be happy to assess whether physiotherapy is appropriate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When should you seek immediate medical attention?<\/h3>\n

Contact your GP or the GP out-of-hours service immediately<\/strong> if the headache starts suddenly and is exceptionally severe, unlike anything you have experienced before. This also applies to sudden, severe headaches accompanied by, for example, a stiff neck, drowsiness, persistent vomiting, red patches on the skin or a fever, where you feel very unwell. Immediate medical assessment is also required in the event of a sudden, severe headache during pregnancy, shortly after giving birth, or following a blow to the head within the past six weeks.<\/p>\n

Call 112<\/strong> if the corner of your mouth suddenly droops, you lose strength in an arm or leg, or you have difficulty speaking, swallowing or seeing. Do not wait to see if these symptoms go away.<\/p>\n

How does it feel?<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the most common causes of headaches is tension-type headache. The pain often starts in your neck and then spreads to your whole head. It basically feels as if there\u2019s a tight band around your head. Not very pleasant, then\u2026 Throbbing pain can also occur with headaches, and may even lead to nausea and vomiting.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

If you suffer from regular headaches, it is very important to eat healthily and do at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise every day. You should also ensure you get enough sleep and do regular breathing and relaxation exercises. Even if your symptoms keep coming back, it\u2019s important to get in touch with us! This often enables us to prevent your symptoms from getting worse. During your first appointment at FRISKFYSIO Amstelveen, you\u2019ll have a consultation and a thorough assessment, and one of our professionals will analyse your symptoms. Based on the results, we\u2019ll determine which treatment is best suited to your condition(s). We will then draw up a clear treatment plan together, and you will be given some exercises to do at home.<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
