For many Franklin, MA residents, the link between chronic neck pain and recurring headaches is the missing piece they didn’t know they were looking for. The cervical spine and the muscles surrounding it have direct pain referral patterns into the skull — meaning a stiff, dysfunctional neck can be the actual source of headaches that feel “just like migraines” or “just stress.” This is one of the most treatable patterns in orthopedic physical therapy, and the change patients feel can be significant.
A short drive from Franklin, PhysioHealth Physical Therapy in North Attleboro takes a precise, structure-by-structure approach to neck pain and headaches. Founder Dr. Christopher Gomes, DPT, OCS, CSCS is a board-certified orthopedic specialist with substantial experience in cervical spine conditions. Treatment is built around your exam findings — joint restrictions, trigger points, postural habits, motor control — and may include manual therapy, functional dry needling, the McKenzie Method, deep neck flexor training, and postural correction work tied to your real-life demands at work and home.
Because every appointment is personalized, the hands-on care these conditions actually need is built into every visit. Your physical therapist works directly with you, with focused attention on your case. That depth of attention lets us refine treatment as you respond and teach you the lifestyle adjustments that keep symptoms from rebounding.
If neck pain and headaches are stealing your focus and energy, you don’t have to keep absorbing them. Schedule an evaluation at our North Attleboro clinic — Franklin is just a short drive away.
