Osteopathic Treatment for Headaches - The Colleges of Osteopathy

[@Josh-he6et]

I been suffering with headaches for 3 years straight every day all day... I finally saw a neurologist and he did a MRI, CT and an xray of my head and all came back negative and clear. He has done neck checks and finally put it down to Chronic Tension type headaches. He wants to give me something called "Botox" but Im not very sure it will work, isnt that only for beauty purposes.. He is very certain I will feel A LOT better as a lot of his patients have.

Josh Snyder dont, im not an osteopath but before letting mds put needles on you, go visit an osteopath or a chiropractor.

For anyone wondering, botox relaxes your muscles - either the muscles in your face, or the muscles in your head. When used in the face, you lose your wrinkles (you also lose the ability to move your face a little), and when used in the head, they relax and your tension headaches get better. It will work immediately. But, if you visit an osteopathic doctor who performs osteopathic manipulative therapy, they may do some techniques to help you relax without medication or injections, or recommend some mental health/meditation type exercises to get to the root of the problem.
