Cervicogenic Headaches
Cervicogenic headaches are a type of headache that originates from issues in the cervical spine, or neck region. They are 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 headaches usually involves a physical examination and a review of medical history. Treatment options may include physical therapy, medications, or chiropractic care. Addressing the underlying neck issues is essential for effective relief and prevention of future headaches.
