Introduction

Cervicogenic headaches can be a debilitating and continuous problem for many people. If you’re suffering from this type of headache, you may be wondering what options are available for treatment. At Physio Active, we specialize in the treatment of cervicogenic headaches and can help you find relief.

What is a Cervicogenic headache?

Cervicogenic headache is a type of headache that originates from the neck and spreads to the head. The pain can feel similar to a migraine or tension headache, but it’s caused by problems in the neck rather than the head. Cervicogenic headaches are triggered by various factors like neck injury, poor posture, and stress.

Diagnosing Cervicogenic headache 

Diagnosing a cervicogenic headache can be difficult, as it often mimics other types of headaches. However, our physiotherapists at Physio Active have extensive experience in identifying and diagnosing this type of headache. We’ll perform a thorough evaluation of your neck, head, and upper body to determine if a cervicogenic headache is the cause of your pain.

At Physio Active, we offer a variety of treatments for cervicogenic headaches, including:
