I use a really good physio who has found vertebral artery compression on a couple of cases of intractable hadache that I have dealt with, resolved with manipulation following months of drugs...........followed up with good ergonomic assessment From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Carr Barnes Sent: 19 January 2011 15:11 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [OCC-HEALTH] Headaches and Work Environment Hi I had a similar case and I referred it to a occupational physiotherapist who ended up doing a lot of myofacial release work and trigger point therapy which over a period of months gradually resolved the headache issue. We also put in some CBT for chronic pain management with great effect. This was of course in conjuction with developing good working habits regarding micro breaks, task changes etc. The employer gave a certain amount of time where they supported this new attempt (as there was no evidence of any other diagnosis.. had also been assessed by a neurologist, opthamologists etc and all NAD) with regular review.

She has them every day starting at about the same time. She does not suffer with this problem when not at work. She has been under the care of a neurologist and has had all the usual investigations and has also been tried on numerous medications. She is now taking a small dose of Amitryptilline at night. She has had CBT therapy to help her manage with this on a day to day basis. I have undertaken a work station assessment and all appears satisfactory. None of her worok colleagues who share her office have any problems and have to confess am at a bit of a loss as to what to advise. Is there anything else perhaps i am not considering Many thanks as always for your help Sarah Sarah Flower Occupational Health Adviser University of East Anglia Norwich NR4 7TJ Tel: 01603 592174 ******************************** Please remove this footer before replying.
