What Is a Cervicogenic Headache? Understanding Headaches That Originate From the Neck
Many people assume that all headaches originate from the head. However, some headaches actually begin in the neck.
One of the most common neck-related headaches is known as a cervicogenic headache. These headaches occur when structures within the neck—such as joints, muscles, nerves, or connective tissues—become irritated and refer pain into the head.
Because cervicogenic headaches often mimic other types of headaches, many people spend months or even years treating the wrong problem.
Can Neck Pain Cause Headaches? Understanding the Connection
If you’ve ever experienced neck pain and headaches at the same time, you may have wondered whether the two are related.
The answer is yes. In many cases, problems within the neck can contribute to headaches. In fact, neck dysfunction is one of the most overlooked causes of recurring headaches, especially for people who spend long hours sitting, working at a computer, driving, or looking down at a smartphone.
At Gordon Physical Therapy, we frequently work with individuals throughout Spokane Valley who have been struggling with headaches for months, or even years, without realizing that their neck may be playing a significant role in their symptoms.
