Headaches are the 3rd leading causes of disability worldwide, affecting about 4.1% of the population. Cervicogenic headache is one of the most common forms of headaches and often misdiagnosed. This headache is caused by the top 3 joints in your cervical spine (neck) interacting with a brain structure, the trigeminal cervical nucleus. From this overlap, the joint, tissues or muscles that are irritated can refer pain up to your head, causing a headache.
There are many triggers for headaches. With the top 5 being, neck pain, tiredness, restless sleep temperature mean and odors.
There are 3 main kinds of headaches:
Cervicogenic Headache- Top or back of head, gradual onset, no nausea, light/sound sensitivity and flexing the neck often increases symptoms
