Cervicogenic Headaches
What Are Cervicogenic Headaches?
Cervicogenic headaches are headaches that originate from problems in the neck. Unlike migraines or tension headaches, the pain in cervicogenic headaches starts in the cervical spine (neck area) and radiates to the head. This condition often arises due to joint issues, muscle strain, or nerve irritation in the upper neck, leading to pain that is typically one-sided and worsens with neck movement or posture.
It is more common in people with poor posture, whiplash injuries, cervical spondylosis, or chronic neck strain due to long hours of desk work.
