Cervicogenic Headache

Headache originating from the neck? Cervicogenic headache responds particularly well to targeted physiotherapy.

Overview

What is Cervicogenic Headache?

Cervicogenic headache originates directly in the cervical spine and radiates from there into the head. It is typically unilateral and can be triggered by specific neck movements or postures. Because the cause lies in the neck, it is very treatable with physiotherapy.

Typical Symptoms

A usually unilateral headache that radiates from the neck or back of the head to the front. It is triggered by specific head and neck movements or prolonged static postures and is often accompanied by restricted neck mobility.

Possible Causes

Dysfunctions and tension in the upper cervical spine, poor posture, unilateral strain, and lack of movement.
