Do you suffer headache?

There are many different triggers for headaches, a common cause being the neck. Neck strain or dysfunction can refer pain into our heads. This occurs because the nerves that supply the upper neck also supply the skin overlying the head, forehead, jaw, back of the eyes and ears. Consequently, pain arising from the upper neck may be felt as pain in any of these regions and this is called a cervicogenic headache.

Cervicogenic headache is caused by activities which place excessive stress on the joints, ligaments, nerves or muscles of the neck. This can occur due to trauma (such as a motor vehicle or sporting accident) or more commonly, due to repetitive or prolonged activities such as computer work and reading, poor postures or excessive bending or twisting of the neck.
