Cervicogenic Headaches
We understand the debilitating impact that cervicogenic headaches can have on our patients. Get your life back without relying on medication.
What Is a Cervicogenic Headache?
A cervicogenic headache (CGH) is a secondary headache triggered by an underlying neck disorder. This type of headache often causes unilateral pain radiating from the neck to the head. It may cause immediate or delayed pain.
A cervicogenic headache is actually referred pain. This means that you feel the pain in your head, but the actual source is in the cervical spine (neck).
Reasons to See a Chiropractor for Cervicogenic Headaches
Medication masks symptoms; we fix the mechanical cause. While family doctors are excellent for general health and ruling out severe underlying diseases, a chiropractor is often better suited for cervicogenic headaches because of the specific nature of the condition.
Because the pain generator is a joint, disc, or muscle in the neck, treatment that restores normal cervical motion addresses the problem directly rather than blunting the signal it produces.
