Headaches
Expert headache treatment in Birmingham, Edgbaston
SIGNS
Signs your headaches may be neck-related
Many headaches are tension-type headaches or come from the neck (cervicogenic headaches). Tight muscles and stiff joints in the neck and upper back can trigger pain that feels like it’s in your head. We assess whether physiotherapy can help. These are the signs we see most.
For more general advice, see the NHS guide to headaches.
A tight band of pressure
A dull ache around the head or across the forehead.
Pain from the neck upwards
Starts at the base of the skull and spreads behind the eye.
Neck stiffness or tension
Reduced movement or tenderness alongside the headache.
Posture related pain
Triggered by prolonged desk work, driving or looking down.

Qasim at Optimum Physio has completely relieved my back pain. He assessed me correctly, found the root cause, and gave me tailored stretches to do at home. I would highly recommend him to anyone and will definitely be using him again.Posted on Google![]()

I contacted Optimum to find out if they could help me with my severe pain in my right hand lower back, I was after a cortisone injection in my intercostal muscle. They said they didn’t do that procedure but would speak to one of their partners. I had a call a few days later with an appointment for the same day. I had the ultrasound guided injection with a fantastic gentleman who explained everything to me and hopefully it’s going to work ok. I can’t thank Optimum Physio enough for their dedication to getting me out of pain. I would definitely recommend using them. They go the extra mile. Keep up the fantastic work. Thanks StevePosted on Google![]()
