Cervicogenic Headache treatment in Juriquilla

Cervicogenic headache is a headache that originates in structures of the neck—vertebrae, muscles, or joints of the cervical spine—and projects toward the head, usually on one side only.

How it presents: discomfort that usually starts at the back of the neck and moves up toward the forehead or temple, sometimes accompanied by neck stiffness and limited ability to turn the head.

Contributing factors: sustained postures, muscle tension, repetitive movements, or a history of neck injuries can promote it.

Who treats it? The physical therapist assesses the mobility and mechanics of the neck as part of managing cervicogenic headache. If the pain is frequent or interferes with your activities, it is advisable to have a professional examine its origin before assuming a cause.
