Cervicogenic Headaches (Part 1): Literally A Pain In Your Neck... (Causing Your Headaches)

9/30/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
Cervicogenic headaches are headaches that are caused by your neck. That’s right, neck pain can literally cause a headache! A headache of this type follows or is made worse with specific neck movements and sustained postures. It typically starts the the base of your skull at the back of your head and can travel (radiate) to your forehead, eye region (behind your eyes), temples and even ears!

Demographics:
- It is estimated that at any one point in time, about 18% of adults are experiencing a cervicogenic headache
- It is more common for females to experience headaches caused by neck pain compared to males

Risk Factors/Potential Causes:
- Previous neck injury or neck pain
- Repetitive neck and shoulder movements 
- Prolonged neck postures (such as painting the ceiling, washing the floors, scrolling on your phone or tablet, having your laptop/computer screen placed off-centre, etc)
- Pain referred from your upper neck anatomy (Spoiler: There's a lot going on at the base of your skull including muscles, ligaments, joints and joint capsules, vertebral discs, etc)

What Our PATIENTS Are Saying ON GOOGLE

I was fortunate enough to have been under the care of Dr. Yee for my back pain. Her treatment has provided significant improvement in my back. Since my first visit, the improvement has been impressive and I will definitely be returning to her clinic again for another treatment. I highly recommend Dr. Yee for her clinical skills and her professionalism.

Dr. Yee is a fantastic chiropractor! She has really helped me with my back pain. Great health teaching when I'm at her clinic. Being a healthcare provider myself, I love that she uses evidence based practice in everything she does. Would totally recommend her if you are having any acute/chronic pain. Very talented chiro!

Brenda is an amazing Chiropractor - she goes above and beyond every appointment to make sure I'm feeling good. If somethings not working, she's open to trying something different to ensure we can address the issue. She is professional, knowledgeable and just so happens to be such a lovely and bubbly personality to chat with. She's been addressing a lot of back issues related to lots of desk work and I've definitely seen the improvements. I've recommended my partner to her, and he's also been enjoying and improving from her treatments!
