Cervicogenic Headaches

Committed to excellence. Committed to relieving your cervicogenic headaches and enhancing your well-being.

Introduction

Cervicogenic headaches are a type of headache originating from the cervical spine (neck) and are often associated with neck pain and stiffness. This condition occurs when issues in the neck, such as poor posture, muscle tension, or spinal dysfunction, trigger headache pain. At Azure Aesthetics and Physiocare, we provide comprehensive assessments to identify the underlying cervical issues contributing to your headaches. Our goal is to offer targeted treatments that address both the source of the headache and the associated neck discomfort, helping you achieve relief and improve your quality of life.

Cervicogenic headaches can result from various factors including muscle strain, joint dysfunction in the cervical spine, or poor posture. Symptoms often include pain that starts in the neck or base of the skull and radiates to the forehead, temples, or eyes. Other signs may include neck stiffness, reduced range of motion, and pain exacerbated by neck movements. Our physiotherapists conduct thorough evaluations to pinpoint the root causes of your headaches and develop a personalized treatment plan aimed at alleviating symptoms and improving neck function.

Managing cervicogenic headaches effectively involves a multi-faceted approach focusing on both pain relief and neck rehabilitation. Our physiotherapy services include manual therapy to address joint and muscle issues in the cervical spine, targeted exercises to strengthen and stabilize the neck, and posture correction techniques. We also provide education on ergonomic adjustments and self-care practices to support long-term relief. By combining these strategies, we aim to reduce headache frequency and severity while enhancing overall neck health.
