Headaches and migraines can become very debilitating. They can affect concentration, mood, sleep, and even day-to-day activities. While there are many possible causes, one area that’s often overlooked is the neck.
Neck-related headaches, or in physio terms - cervicogenic headaches, occur when stiffness, muscle tension, or joint irritation in the upper neck refer pain up into the head. Even migraines and tension-type headaches can be aggravated by muscle tightness or poor movement patterns around the neck and shoulders. That’s where physiotherapy can often play a helpful role.
Our latest blog explains how the neck can contribute to headaches, how Physio can help and ultimately how not all headaches are the same!
It’s important to note we work closely with GPs and other healthcare professionals, but that treatment can be a very effective part of your management plan.
