Cervicogenic headaches are simply headaches that come from the neck. If the bones and joints of the neck become irritated they can put pressure on certain nerves that go into the head. This pressure can then create headache type symptoms. These types of headaches are usually the result of some sort of neck injury such as a whiplash injury.

Cervicogenic headaches may occasionally happen if a person had a car accident, and strained his neck muscle groups and sprained the many ligaments of the neck. There are almost 20 muscular tissues, 7 bones, 8 nerves, and a variety of ligaments and tendons which, if harm, can refer ache to the mind. The neck is one of the most susceptible components of individual body. If any of these structures in the neck are strained, the throbbing sensations can reach up to the head inflicting extreme complications.

These types of headaches are typically accompanied by other signs and symptoms like nausea, throbbing ache, discomfort at the rear of the eyes, photophobia (excessive sensitivity to light), phonophobia (sensitivity to seems) etc. The ache can vary from gentle to serious in unique people. The pain can get worse by regular and abrupt neck and mind movements.

Cervicogenic headache treatments:

Let us examine a few procedures of treating and obtaining rid of neck complications so that the issue no longer bothers us and we can get again to our usual life as quickly as possible.

1. Chiropractic- As a Bellevue chiropractor I see a large number of cervicogenic headache patients. This is mainly because there are a lot of car accidents due to all of the rain and poor driving conditions. Whiplash injuries create poor posture, which is one of the main causes of cervicogenic headaches and I am an expert at helping to correct poor posture and prevent it from causing problems in the future.

2. Therapeutic massage- Gentle workout routines and neck therapeutic massage can be actually beneficial in alleviating the discomfort induced by your headaches. The muscular tissues near the base of the skull may be strained and therapeutic massage can assist in comforting these muscular tissues. Therapeutic massage remedy can provide you the biggest aid in short period of time, allowing you to come back to your work quickly.

3. Posture Enhancement- Keeping a weak stance for a prolonged period of time can direct to cervical joint stiffness, which in turn can guide to cervicogenic headaches. It is crucial to correct your stance. In particular if you function at a computer, your stance may be the key to helping eliminate your complications. Any chiropractor will be ready to guide you as you function to appropriate postural issues.

Aside from the already mentioned remedy techniques, you will need sufficient rest. There are several workouts to strengthen neck muscle tissue. Doing this kind of workout routines often can be beneficial in getting rid of cervicogenic headaches as very well as preventing them from re-occurring in future. However you require to consider the suggestions of an skilled ahead of starting such exercises.
