    When headaches start in your neck

    Not all headaches start in your head. Cervicogenic headaches originate from problems in the cervical spine - joint dysfunction, muscle tension, or nerve irritation in the neck that refers pain to the head. If your headaches keep coming back and your head feels fine, the cause might be your neck.

    Chiropractic care for headaches and migraines at our Lake Nona office

    Cervicogenic headaches originate from problems in the cervical spine - not the head itself. Joint dysfunction, muscle tension, or nerve irritation in the neck can refer pain to the head. If your headaches keep coming back and nothing has worked, the cause might be your neck. We evaluate the cervical spine to find out.

    What it feels like

    • Headaches that start at the base of the skull and radiate forward
    • Pain on one side of the head or face
    • Headaches triggered by neck movement or certain postures
    • Neck stiffness or pain that accompanies the headache
    • Headaches that don't respond well to headache medication

    How we evaluate it

    We evaluate your cervical spine's range of motion, joint function, and alignment. If there's a structural issue in the neck referring pain to the head, we'll find it. Cervicogenic headaches often respond well to chiropractic adjustments that address the underlying cervical dysfunction.
