Cervicogenic headache is a secondary type of headache resulting from dysfunction in the neck region.

It is estimated that...

This pressure can lead to pain, numbness, or weakness—either locally or radiating down the legs—especially during activities that involve spinal extension (e.g., bending backward or prolonged standing) or compressive loading.
