One of the most common (often untreated) types of headaches are called cervicogenic headaches.
If you are unfamiliar with the word “cervicogenic”, it just means that your headaches are coming from your neck. Below is a list of 8 signs that your headache are coming from your neck.

8 Signs Your Headaches are Coming from Your Neck:
Your headaches get worse with stress
You have bad posture (head leaning forward, forward rounded shoulders, etc)
You have muscle tension at the base of your skull
Your headaches get worse the longer you sit at your computer
You have pain at the lower part of your neck and/or between your shoulder blades
Your neck feels tight and/or you wish it would “pop”
Your headaches feel a little better if you stretch your neck
Your headaches feel a little better if you “pop” your neck
If you suffer with headaches and have one more more of the above signs, your headaches are most likely coming from or being made worse by a problem with your neck. The good news is that cervicogenic headaches can be corrected and we can help.
