What Is Headaches & Migraines?

Tension-type and cervicogenic headaches are closely tied to how well your neck and upper back are moving. When those joints get restricted, referred pain often shows up as a headache.

Common Causes

  • Tension or restriction in the cervical spine
  • Poor posture from desk or phone use
  • Old neck injuries, including whiplash
  • Muscle tightness in the neck, jaw, and shoulders

Common Symptoms

  • Headache starting at the base of the skull
  • Pain that radiates to the forehead or behind the eyes
  • Neck stiffness accompanying the headache
  • Frequency or intensity that increases with stress or screen time
