One very common and often overlooked cause of headache is rooted in the neck.
Cervicogenic headaches are different from other headaches in that they are caused by problems with the nerves, joints or muscles in your neck.
The good news is by fixing your neck problem, your headaches can be allieviated.
Chiropractors specialise in assessing, diagnosing and managing conditions of the spine including neck problems leading to headaches.
Characteristics of a Neck Headache
- Your headache may seem to radiate from the back to the top of your head.
- Your headache is provoked or eased by a neck movement, a sustained posture, stomach sleeping or with your head turned to one side.
- Your headache normally appears to be worse on one side of your head. The side is normally constant and does not swap sides.
To Investigate the Cause of a Client's Headaches we Provide:
- An Initial Consultation with one of our experienced Chiropractors
- A Thorough Physical Examination including Neurological, Orthopaedic, Postural and Flexibility tests
- A Verbal Report of our Findings and thorough Explanation of any X-Rays or MRI Scans
