Neck Pain, Headache, and the Jaw Joint

Neck pain and headaches can be very disabling and can significantly alter a person’s normal pattern of living. Simple things like reading the newspaper, cooking, driving a car, and/or looking down when feeding a baby can become almost intolerable. Canceling plans for the day or saying "no" to vacations can be very disheartening and often occurs because of severe neck pain and/or headaches making these activities simply, "no fun." The cause of the headaches associated with neck pain and cervical dysfunction is usually due to the compression caused by tight neck muscles squeezing the upper three nerve roots in the neck region, resulting in radiating pain into the head.

The Neck and Headache Connection

Patients with headaches also commonly complain of neck pain. This relationship is the rule, not the exception; therefore, in order to achieve optimum results, treatment for headaches must include treatment of the neck. There are many anatomical reasons why neck problems result in headaches. Some of these include:

Neck Pain and Chiropractic Treatment

A 42-year-old female patient presented with neck pain that had been present for two months. The pain came on gradually and without a specific cause. Her vocation is answering the phone for a busy mail order shoe store. She works 40 hours a week, 5 days per week. Her neck pain worsens with work, especially by the end of he eight-hour shift. Other pain producers include driving more than 30 minutes, reading more than 30 minutes, and washing her hair with the head back. Her pain improves when she rests her head on a chair or pillow, moves her head in circles, takes 600 mg of ibuprofen (repeated 3x/day), and after a hot shower. She describes the pain as an ache with intermittent sharp pain that is becoming more frequent, "…when I move the wrong way." There is no shooting pain into her arms or hands.

Whiplash – What Is It?

Whiplash is a slang term for an injury to the neck that occurs as a result of a sudden jolt, classically occurring in a car accident (though a slip and fall injury can sometimes result in a similar condition). In a classic rear-end collision, the car is struck from behind and accelerated forward so fast that even if the person knew the impending collision was about to take place, bracing the body prior to impact would not prevent injury. In fact, muscles can only be voluntarily contracted at around 800-1000 msec. and in a rear end collision, the head is "whipped" within a 300-400 msec. time frame. Additionally, the muscles in the front of neck are stretched when the car is propelled forward, which leaves the head in a relatively extended backwards position. Most headrests in cars are not properly positioned so the head often goes back much further than the limits of our muscles, ligaments, and joints may allow resulting in the stretching and tearing of these tissues. When the tissues in the front of the neck are over stretched, the "rubber band" effect propels the head forward—overstretching the muscles, ligaments, and joints at the back of the spine. This "crack the whip" phenomenon occurs within 400-500 msec., far quicker than what we are capable of when voluntarily contracting our muscles. Here is a breakdown of what happens in a 5 mph (~8 km/h) rear-end collision:

Chiropractic Manipulation and Headaches

Headaches are a common complaint in patients presenting for professional care, including chiropractic management. Patients with headaches seek chiropractic care because they find manipulation or adjustments applied to the cervical spine and upper back region are highly effective in reducing the intensity, frequency, and duration of their headache pain. This is because the cervical spine / neck is often the origin of the headache as the three nerves in the upper neck (C1, 2 and 3) pass through the thick, overly taught neck muscles in route to the scalp / head. When the muscles of the neck are in spasm, the nerves get "pinched" or squeezed by the overly tight muscles resulting in headache pain. Each nerve runs to a different part of the head and therefore, pain may be described as "…radiating over the top of head (sometimes into the forehead and eyes)," or, into the head and over the ear, sometimes reaching the temple. Also, an area located in the back and side of the head is the area where the C1 nerve innervates, so pain may also be reported in that location. When more than one of the C1-3 nerves is pinched, the whole side to the top of the head may be involved.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) – What Else Could It Be?

Doctors of Chiropractic frequently see patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). It is a very common condition and usually responds well to the non-surgical chiropractic treatment approaches including hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder, and/or neck manipulation, myofascial release techniques, wrist splint use—especially at night, workstation evaluation and modifications, physiotherapy modality use (such as electrical stimulation, low level laser therapy, pulsed ultrasound), therapeutic exercises, and more.

Headache – What Is It and What Can I Do About It?

"I woke up this morning with an excruciating headache. I thought the top of my head was going to blow off!"

"I notice as the day goes on, tightness in my neck worsens and I get a headache usually by 2-3pm."

"I don’t know if I can do my work with my headaches."

Statements like these are common on case history forms patients fill out when they seek chiropractic care for their headaches. Many patients ask, "...what is a headache?" The National Institutes of Health (NIH) describe four types of headache: vascular, muscular contraction or tension, traction, and inflammatory.

Chin Tucks and Neck Pain

Neck pain is a very common complaint that chiropractors treat on a regular basis. Most people will experience neck pain during their lifetime that requires professional care and the choice between chiropractic or some other form of healthcare certainly exists. Chiropractic is a non-drug, non-surgical option many find appealing because of the many side effects of medications and no one wants to consider surgery unless it’s absolutely necessary and everything else has been tried first.

Headaches: Causes and Treatment

Few conditions leave their victims as miserable and agitated as headaches. There are many causes of headaches including stress, odors, bright lights, noise, fatigue, certain foods, hormonal shifts, allergies, as well as genetic predisposition. With all the possible causes of headaches, it’s not surprising many people seek help from many different approaches such as conventional medical therapies like pharmaceuticals and injections. Others prefer a non-drug treatment approach such as chiropractic, massage therapy, acupuncture, and nutritional counseling.

Low Back Pain and Balance Exercises

Previously, we discussed the relationship between low back pain and balance, particularly our unfortunate increased tendency to fall as we age. Let's look at ways to improve our balance by learning specific exercises that utilize the parts of the nervous system that regulate balance or proprioception—particularly, the cerebellum (the part of the brain that regulates coordination), the vestibular system (the inner ear where the semi-circular canals are located), the ascending tracts in the spinal cord (the "highways" that bring information to the brain from the feet and the rest of the body), and the small "mechano-receptors" located in the joints that pick up our movements as we walk and run and sends that information through our nerves and up the spinal cord tracts to the brain. Here are some very practical exercises to do (start with the easy ones):
