Headaches & Cervicogenic Pain
🧠 Many headaches originate from the neck, known as cervicogenic headaches. Restricted upper-neck joints and sustained muscle tension can refer pain into the head, temples, or behind the eyes. Research indicates chiropractic care can reduce frequency and intensity of cervicogenic and tension-type headaches.
🏠 Try this today: Apply heat to the upper neck for 10 minutes, then perform slow neck rotations within a pain-free range. Avoid prolonged head-forward positions, especially when working or scrolling.
📍 If headaches are recurring or paired with neck stiffness, it’s worth addressing the spinal component rather than masking symptoms. Our chiropractors in Mosman regularly support North Shore adults with headache patterns linked to posture, stress, and neck dysfunction.
A thorough assessment helps identify whether your headaches are neck-related and what can be done to reduce them naturally.
