Cervicogenic headaches often start in the neck and radiate upward, causing pain that can feel like a migraine but is actually rooted in musculoskeletal or nerve issues. These headaches are commonly linked to conditions such as cervical arthritis, herniated discs, whiplash injuries, or even poor posture from long hours at a desk.
At NOSS, our Pain management specialists take a comprehensive, non-surgical approach to diagnosing and treating cervicogenic headaches. By carefully evaluating the spine, muscles, and nerves, we can pinpoint the source of pain and design a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Treatment may include:
Image-guided injections for pain relief and reduced inflammation
Manual therapies to improve mobility and reduce muscle tension
Medications or non-opioid pain management strategies
Ergonomic and lifestyle recommendations to prevent recurrence
Our goal is not only to relieve current headache symptoms but also to address the underlying cause - helping you restore function, improve mobility, and reduce the risk of future pain.
Call 203-755-NOSS or visit nossmd.com to schedule an appointment with our PM&R team and take the next step toward lasting relief from cervicogenic headaches.

The holidays are a time for celebration, connection, and joy - but they can also bring stress, disrupted routines, and overindulgence. With a little preparation, you can enjoy the season while keeping your health and well-being on track.
1. Prioritize Balance
It’s easy to overdo it at holiday meals. Enjoy your favorite treats, but aim for balance by filling most of your plate with lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables.
2. Stay Active
Even short bursts of movement can make a difference. Take a walk after meals, dance at holiday parties, or fit in a quick workout between events to keep your energy up.
3. Manage Stress
Holiday schedules can feel overwhelming. Set aside a few minutes each day for mindfulness, deep breathing, or simply unplugging from technology to recharge.
4. Get Rest
Late nights and busy days can throw off your sleep schedule. Try to maintain a consistent bedtime routine to support your immune system and keep you feeling refreshed.
5. Protect Your Body
If you’re lifting heavy decorations, shopping bags, or suitcases, use proper body mechanics - bend at the knees, not your back - to prevent injuries.
By planning ahead and taking small steps to care for yourself, you’ll be better able to enjoy all the moments that make the holidays special.

Joint pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical care, and in many cases, arthritis is the leading cause for considering joint replacement. Over time, arthritis and other degenerative conditions can wear down the cartilage in the hip, knee, or shoulder - leading to pain, stiffness, and limited mobility that no longer respond to conservative treatments.
At NOSS, our fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeons provide thorough evaluations to determine whether joint replacement is the best option for you. We specialize in both total and partial joint replacements for the hip, knee, and shoulder, using advanced techniques to restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve quality of life.
Our team is committed to exceptional patient care every step of the way:
Accurate diagnosis and clear explanations of your options
Minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgical approaches where appropriate
Personalized care plans focused on your lifestyle and goals
Education and support to help patients and families prepare for surgery and recovery
A collaborative, multispecialty team - including pain managementor comprehensive care before and after surgery
Joint replacement isn’t right for everyone, but when it is, our surgeons combine years of specialized training with a patient-first philosophy to deliver the best possible outcomes.
Call 203-755-6677 (NOSS) or 1-800-463-8764, or request an appointment online to learn if joint replacement surgery is right for you.
