Persistent Headaches? The Source May Be Your Neck.
Cervicogenic headaches are caused by dysfunction in the cervical spine—often mistaken for migraines or tension-type headaches. These headaches typically begin in the neck or base of the skull and may radiate toward the front of the head, often accompanied by reduced neck mobility or discomfort when turning the head.

At Carpe Diem Chiropractic, we specialize in diagnosing and treating cervicogenic headaches through a non-invasive, evidence-informed approach that includes:

🔹 Cervical spine adjustments to improve joint mechanics
🔹 Soft tissue therapy to release muscle tension and trigger points
🔹 Postural correction and ergonomic advice to reduce daily strain
🔹 Rehabilitative exercises to support long-term relief and prevent recurrence

If your headaches are aggravated by neck movement, start at the source. A thorough evaluation can determine whether your symptoms stem from cervical dysfunction—and more importantly, how to treat it effectively.
