Cervicogenic headache is a type of headache that originates from issues in the cervical spine, or neck region. It is often caused by problems such as neck injuries, arthritis, or muscle tension. Symptoms typically include pain on one side of the head, which may radiate from the neck to the forehead, temples, or behind the eyes.
Diagnosis of cervicogenic headache involves a thorough medical history and physical examination. Treatment options may include physical therapy, medications, or chiropractic care. Addressing the underlying neck issues is essential for effective management and relief of symptoms.
