Headaches and Migraines

Conditions

Headaches and migraines

Cervicogenic headaches are a type of headache that originates from the neck. They are caused by a dysfunction in the cervical spine, such as joint stiffness, muscle tension, or nerve irritation. Symptoms of cervicogenic headaches include pain on the side or back of the head, neck pain, and sometimes shoulder pain.

Migraines are more complex and can be caused by a variety of factors, including stress, hormones, and diet. Symptoms of migraines include throbbing pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound.

Chiropractic care can help relieve the symptoms of both cervicogenic headaches and migraines by addressing the underlying cause of the pain. Chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and lifestyle modifications can help reduce the frequency and severity of both headaches and migraines.
