Why Do I Get A Headache?
Cervicogenic headaches are a type of headache that stem from the neck and emanate to the head (the back, the top or the side). The muscles that help support and move the neck can develop trigger points or tight bands that refer into the head. Also when the joints that are on either side of the spine (facet joints) are stiff or injured, they can also refer to the head.
Common Source Of Symptoms
Common Causes For Headache
Headaches can occur gradually or can occur as a result of an injury. People suffering cervicogenic headaches will have an associated sore or stiff neck. Contributing to the gradual onset of headaches can be:
- Posture
- Sleeping position
- Stress
- Poor Training Technique
- Weakness
- poor Movement
What Is The Best Headache Pain Treatment
The best treatment usually starts with understanding the history to understand why and how it occurred. A thorough assessment by your physiotherapist will help guide management by identifying the irritated structure and cause of your headaches.
Treatment often includes:
- Joint mobilisation to improve the movement of the neck, reducing the referral into the head
- Muscle release through massage, dry needling, stretching to reduce tension and joint compression
- Taping to help offload the irritated structure or assist with posture
- Education
Long term management and prevention includes postural management and strengthening.
