Difference Between Headaches and Migraines

Difference Between Headaches and Migraines from Oxford Rehabilitation Center

Suffering from headaches or migraines in Philadelphia is the last thing you want to do. Fortunately, here at Oxford Rehabilitation Center, we offer hands-on therapy and chiropractic care to resolve your head pain. Learn what the difference is between a headache and migraine, along with how we can treat your condition today.

What is the Difference Between a Headache & Migraine Pain?

A headache is characterized by a dull pain that occurs throughout a region of your head. For example, you might have pain along the base of the back of your head, which is a common type of a tension headache. Tense muscles are the primary cause of headaches, and this is often due to stress or underlying health problems. A migraine is caused by dilated blood vessels, which restrict blood flow and cause pain. This condition happens in a single part of the head. 

How can a Chiropractor Help Manage & Treat Headache & Migraine Pain?

First, we identify the type of a headache or a migraine you have so we can provide specialized treatment. For a headache, this commonly includes chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, and physical therapy. If you have chronic migraines we will work to adjust your musculoskeletal system and improve blood flow. 

Can Chiropractic Care Help Me Prevent Headaches and Migraines?

Yes, with regular chiropractic adjustments we can help you avoid having chronic headaches and migraines. Our mission is to provide you with the holistic care that treats underlying issues, such as lack of circulation or too much inflammation, that causes head pain. From there, we set you up with a customized treatment program to deal with these issues on an ongoing basis.

My mom was in a car accident and Oxford Rehab was the center were she took therapy and they are amazing. Dr Cohen and Gerard are knowledgeable, caring and helped us a lot going through her recovery. They are flexible with schedules and super easy to reach them if you have any questions. I highly recommend them and we will be forever thankful with them.

I don’t even know where to start. This place is heaven sent. After my car accident I was in so much pain mentally & physically. Dr. Cohen literally changed this for me. He found certain issues in my body that I didn’t even know was there. He is so thurl. The staff here is great. I originally was sent to another place for therapy & I didn’t feel like what they were doing was working. When I came to Oxford Rehab my God. They put me to work and had me moving around in no time. Some days were difficult but all the staff worked very hard to get me back to normal. They were so patient with me. I will miss coming to see all the staff here. If you want a very reliable, patient, and supportive experience then this is definitely your place. I promise you wont regret it.

I want to complement the people I worked with to get me where I can say “I feel tremendous!!”but in particular, their lead physical therapist,Wendy. She is absolutely the best therapist you can have. She put me through physical exercises to increase the flexibility and strength in my left hip after having full hip replacement surgery. She is knowledgeable and professional and is willing to show you how to do the exercises properly to make you better with a pleasant and positive demeanor. She balances having you do physical therapy on one day and aquatic therapy on another day and it has helped me to heal significantly better. The office staff, Gerard and Marie, are pleasant and efficient and greet you with a smile and courtesy that make you feel welcome. I highly recommend this center if you seriously want to get better and results.

I really loved to come to Oxford rehabilitation Center. The staff are so friendly. My physical therapist Wendy made me feel like a family. I'm in my 70's and suffering from neurological health issues that limits my ability to walk more than 2 blocks. She picked me up from my house for the first 8 weeks. I have been coming here for water therapy for 6 months. I have made remarkable improvements in my leg strength, balance, endurance. Now I gained freedom to go out by bus without difficulty. I was able to reduce my medication needs to once a day. When I am in the pool, I am able to do all exercises painless that are too painful and difficult to do on land. I call it " The healing water".

Dr. Cohen is by far the best. He’s very attentive and has the best jokes. Wendy is very nice and very quick. She keeps the boys in line. Marty is very knowledgeable and patient. Gerard lol he’s very short! lol all jokes aside he’s very good with communication and scheduling. This was thee best physical therapy establishment that I’ve had the pleasure to treat with. The staff is amazing and the facility is always clean. I wouldn’t want to treat anywhere else but oxford rehab.
