OMT Treatment for Tension Headaches

Studies have shown that:

  • OMT improves tension headaches when combined with relaxation techniques.
  • OMT effectively treats chronic tension headaches by addressing muscle tension and improving circulation.

A headache is a pain or discomfort in the head or neck, and it is one of the most common health complaints. While most headaches are not serious, they can impact daily activities. Tension headaches occur when the muscles in the head and neck contract, often due to stress, posture issues, or lifestyle factors. These headaches can develop at any age but are most common in adults and adolescents.

Our osteopathic approach focuses on relieving muscle tension, improving mobility, and promoting overall well-being—helping you manage and prevent chronic tension headaches naturally.

Take control of your health today. Schedule your OMT treatment for tension headaches and experience the relief you deserve.

Houston, TX, is centrally located in southeast Texas, easily accessible from multiple highways. If you’re driving to Houston from the north, take Interstate 45 South, which will bring you directly into the heart of the city. From the east, Interstate 10 West will take you toward downtown Houston, passing through key neighborhoods along the way. For those coming from the west, Interstate 10 East is the main route, leading straight into the city. If you’re approaching from the south, you can take Interstate 45 North, which also connects to the city’s central areas. Houston’s robust freeway system, including the 610 Loop and Beltway 8, offers convenient access to different parts of the city, with easy connections to surrounding suburbs like Bellaire, Kingwood, and Clear Lake. Make sure to account for possible traffic when navigating through peak hours, as Houston is known for its busy roads.
