HEADACHES

It is very common for patients who suffer from headaches to also complain of neck pain. Therefore treatment for headaches will almost alway include treatment to the neck area. There are a group of nerves that exit the spine in the upper neck and go directly to the head. These nerves pass through muscles that attach to the skull.
Any spasm or inflammation of these muscles can put pressure on the nerves causing a headache. It is important that you see a qualified physician to determine the cause of the headache. Many times, identifying the cause of the irritated muscles and restoring the normal motion to the spine will effectively treat the headache.
