Grateful to attend the Miles for Migraine fundraising run/walk this past Saturday! 💜

Migraine is the 2nd leading cause of disability worldwide, yet it still doesn’t qualify under SSA’s LTD criteria — and there are only about one certified headache specialist for every 80,000 people.

Events like these help raise awareness, research funds, and hope for millions living with this invisible condition.

🎃 Happy Halloween from Pang PT!

Nothing is spookier than chronic headaches!

Manual therapy has been falling out of fashion in the PT world but evidence still points to it being effective for neck, jaw, and headache pain.

Manual therapy techniques can include soft tissue and/or joint mobilizations which both serve different purposes. The technique used is ultimately dependent on the patient's specific presentation.

Vestibular rehab is one of the most effective tools we have for combating dizziness and vertigo — yet it’s still largely unknown, even among healthcare providers.

Did you know up to 50% of people experience vertigo by age 70? And it’s not just an “older adult” issue — dizziness can happen at any age.

I love teaching people about vestibular rehab and all the surprising, even wacky, ways it helps the brain and body recover balance. Thank you again for having me!

Can headaches cause throat issues?
The short answer: sometimes, yes.

The glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve IX) helps control swallowing, voice, and parts of the upper throat — and it can be involved in certain headache presentations.

A 2023 case series by Hammerle & Treleaven explored this connection, showing that targeted physical therapy focused on the upper cervical spine appeared to modulate headache and throat symptoms.

That said — I’m not entirely convinced by their proposed mechanical explanation. But they do a great job highlighting that headache disorders can include glossopharyngeal-related symptoms like coughing, dysphagia, or voice changes.

Ultimately, it depends on the case — and when these symptoms persist, collaboration with a speech-language pathologist (SLP) for laryngeal motor retraining can make a big difference.

Always a pleasure to meet other healthcare providers!

Thank you again for having me to talk all about TMD headaches.

TMD can show up as jaw pain, facial tightness, neck stiffness, ear pressure, headaches, or even dizziness — and recovery is often fastest when we look at the jaw, neck, and overall oral health together.

🦷 Dentistry plays a key role in bite mechanics, oral habits like clenching/grinding, and supporting TMJ and oral health.
💆‍♂️ Physical Therapy helps with TMJ joint health, jaw + neck mobility, muscle tension, posture, and reducing headache triggers.

If you're looking for a dental practice that provides exceptional care for all your dental needs — I highly recommend !

Scapular winging occurs when the shoulder blade lifts away from the ribcage, often due to weakness in the serratus anterior or other periscapular stabilizers.

Because many neck and head muscles attach to the scapula — including the upper trapezius, levator scapulae, and portions of the cervical musculature — shoulder stability plays a major role in headache management. Poor scapular control can increase tension through these muscles, contributing to neck pain, headaches, and even vestibular dysfunction due to altered cervical proprioception.

In other words, restoring scapular and shoulder health is often an essential piece of both headache and vestibular rehabilitation.

Migraine is a WEIRD disorder. 🧠

People think it’s just headaches — but it’s so much more than that.

There are tons of migraine variants, each with their own bizarre set of symptoms.

My weirdest one? Something called palatal myoclonus — it makes the soft palate in my mouth spasm and creates an audible clicking in my ear.

It’s rare… but it happens.

👇 Comment below your STRANGEST migraine symptom!

Let's take a look at Senator McConell's recent fall.

We immediately see he has a L trendelenburg gait pattern in his walking, accompanied by left knee hyperextension. All of which indicates he is likely weaker on that left side.

More weight is going to be put on his left side as he makes that left turn - along with increased vestibular input. Layer in the dual cognitive task of attending to the report and the end result is a fall.

Not to mention his FOOSH (fall on outstretched hand) - let's hope he didn't also get a distal radial fracture 🦴

While fall risk is never zero for seniors, a lot could have actually been proactively done to prevent situations like this.

For Mr. McConnell it'd probably look like a mix of lower extremity strengthening and balance training - along with dual cognitive task training!

It's no secret we live in a gerontocracy - comment below if you think all our representatives should do balance training or if you think we should have an age limit for elected office! 🫠

Post-concussion rehab works.
A 2021 systematic review of over 2,500 participants found that active rehabilitation leads to large positive outcomes.

So if you’ve been told to “just rest in a dark room”… it’s time to get a second opinion.

There’s real, evidence-based hope for recovery. You don't have to feel brain fogged, dizziness or have headaches forever.

Share this with someone who may be a concussion survivor so that they can modernize their approach to recovery.
