Headaches Arising From The Neck


Headaches that arise from the neck can come from many sources i.e. muscle strain, joint sprain, stress, tension, poor posture etc. Our chiropractors here at the AMI Clinic, in Bedford, are trained to diagnose, treat, and manage these types of headaches.

A headache arising from the neck is typically called a cervicogenic headache, meaning it is pain ascending from the muscles and joints of the cervical spine.

Common symptoms of headaches that arise from the neck:

·         A dull diffuse ache across the shoulders, shoulder blades, and or into the neck area
·         A stiff neck
·         A dull ache/pain or throb across the base of the head 
·         Limited head and neck movement
·         Etc.

Due to the fact cervicogenic headaches arise from problems in the neck, different conditions can trigger these types of pains including degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis in the neck, a disc herniation, a trapped nerve, minor sports injuries, whiplash or even poor posture while sitting or standing. This is why it is important to know where the root cause of your problems is so then you can target the treatment accordingly.

If you are suffering with these types of headaches, get in contact today and allow us to identify, treat and manage your symptoms.
