Headache and migraine relief at Transcending Health is a whole-body plan that may ease tension, calm stress and improve posture. It is for people whose headaches get in the way of sleep, work, focus or daily life. We are at 1445 Rio Road East in Charlottesville, VA.
Headaches and migraines may be linked to a tight neck, jaw or shoulders. Posture, stress, poor sleep, tight muscles and an overloaded nervous system can play a part too.
Our goal is to find what feeds your headaches and ease tension. We also aim to help blood flow and help your body handle pain and stress.
Headaches and migraines feel different for each person. Some come from tension. Others may bring light sensitivity, nausea, throbbing pain, or nerve symptoms.
Many things can play a part. Think tight muscles, posture, stress, sleep, how much water you drink, a sensitive nervous system, a tight jaw, or things around you.
We look at the whole body. Your plan may include massage, acupuncture, SoftWave Therapy, corrective exercise, breathwork, and simple ways to calm your nervous system.
