Migraines can often be confused with cervicogenic headaches ➡️ headaches that originate from structures in the neck.
5️⃣ signs and symptoms of a cervicogenic headache that can be mistaken as a migraine:
1. Unilateral – pain is felt on one side your head. pain typically starts from the base of your skull or upper neck, wraps around your ear and into forehead
2. Pain behind your eye
3. Headache is triggered by sustained postures, sleeping positions, or heavy lifting
4. Neck stiffness
5. Light sensitivity – more mild with cervicogenic headaches compared to migraines but can still be misleading
✨✨Cervicogenic headaches can be treated pretty easily with physical therapy giving patients extreme relief without medication! 🙌🙌
