What is a Cervicogenic Headache?
A cervicogenic headache is a type of headache caused by issues in the neck, typically stemming from misalignments, muscle tension, or spinal dysfunction. Unlike regular tension headaches or migraines, cervicogenic headaches are often associated with neck pain or stiffness. These headaches are typically felt on one side of the head and can be accompanied by symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and visual disturbances.

Signs & symptoms of Neck Pain & Cervicogenic Headaches

Localised discomfort, stiffness, or tightness in the neck muscles.

Dull, aching pain that often starts at the base of the skull and can radiate to the forehead, temples, or around the eyes.

Difficulty or discomfort when moving the head, particularly side-to-side or up and down.

Tightness or discomfort in the upper shoulders, often accompanying neck pain.

Pain or tenderness upon palpation of the neck and upper cervical spine.

Headaches may worsen with certain neck movements or sustained postures.

Common Causes of Neck Pain & Cervicogenic Headaches
