About the Condition

What It Is & Why It Happens

A significant proportion of chronic headaches are cervicogenic — originating from the upper neck joints and muscles — and respond extremely well to skilled neck physiotherapy.

Tension-type headaches and some migraine subtypes also have a neck component. After accurate diagnosis, manual therapy and exercise often dramatically reduce headache frequency.

Recovery outlook: Many patients see a 50%+ reduction in headache days within 4–6 weeks.

Common Causes

  • Long screen or phone hours
  • Stress and reduced sleep
  • Poor pillow setup
  • Stiff upper cervical joints
  • Weak deep neck muscles
  • Bruxism (clenching/grinding)
