Is Physical Therapy the Solution for Your Headaches in Chicago?
Most headaches aren’t just random—they stem from muscle tension, poor posture, and joint dysfunction in the neck and shoulders. Physical therapy attacks these triggers directly, helping to:
- Release tight muscles in the neck and shoulders
- Improve posture to reduce strain
- Restore proper movement in the cervical spine
- Correct muscle imbalances contributing to chronic pain
This approach works for:
- Tension headaches
- Migraines worsened by neck tension
- Cervicogenic headaches (originating from neck issues)
- Headaches linked to neck stiffness and poor posture
- Chronic headaches that haven’t improved with medication
Unlike quick-fix painkillers, physical therapy gives you long-term relief—so you’re not trapped in a cycle of pain.
Why Choose Physical Therapy for Headache Relief?
1. Fixes the Root Cause—Not Just the Symptoms
Medication only masks pain. We address the underlying triggers—whether it’s muscle tension, poor posture, or joint dysfunction—so you get lasting relief.
2. Improves Neck Mobility & Function
Targeted exercises and hands-on therapy increase flexibility, restore movement, and ease muscle tension—reducing the frequency and intensity of headaches.
3. Personalized to Your Body & Lifestyle
No two headaches are the same. Your treatment plan is customized based on your posture, symptoms, and daily habits to deliver maximum results.
4. Teaches You How to Prevent Future Headaches
We don’t just treat your pain—we teach you how to keep headaches from coming back with expert guidance on posture, ergonomics, and stress management.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Comprehensive Headache Assessment
During your initial appointment, we conduct a full-body evaluation to identify the root causes of your headaches. Our assessment focuses on muscle tension and joint dysfunction in the neck and shoulders, posture and spinal alignment that could trigger headaches, neck mobility and strength to detect weaknesses, and lifestyle or ergonomic factors that might be contributing to the problem.
We also take the time to review your symptoms, pain patterns, and the impact on your daily life to create the most effective treatment plan for you.
Customized Treatment Plan
Based on the evaluation, we develop a personalized strategy to eliminate headaches and prevent them from recurring. Your treatment plan may include manual therapy to relieve muscle tightness and improve mobility, therapeutic exercises to strengthen neck and shoulder muscles, postural correction to prevent tension buildup, and education on headache prevention techniques for long-term relief.
Treatment sessions typically last 30–60 minutes, with the frequency adjusted to fit your specific condition and needs.

Success Stories & Testimonials
“Carla, the owner of Engram Therapy and Wellness Clinic has tremendous compassion, patience and medical expertise. Not only is she a physical therapist, she also has a nursing background. We hired her using private insurance (which was covered) to work with our loved one who resides in a nursing home after having a stroke. Carla never gave up on my loved one. My sister gets frustrated and can lash out, but Carla managed to stay on my sister’s good side. My sister has achieved her PT goals of transferring, standing and even walking.”
Jane Smith
“Carla is an amazing practitioner. She worked with my mother and was the only person that we saw that actually helped her lymphedema. She is also very empathetic and truly cares about her patience. After my mom was out of her care, Carla still checked on her and would answer any questions that we had without Charging for her time. I would highly recommend carla. There are very few lymphedema specialists that we encountered that actually know what they are doing.”
Stacey Orleans
“Carla is the most caring and knowledgeable PT! She cares so much about her patients. My dad is bedridden due to TBI and needs lots of PT work. Carla comes to visit my dad everyday and provides tremendous skillful help. She is very passionate about what she can do to improve my dad’s quality of life. We really appreciate your time and expertise! Keep up the amazing work Carla!!”
