There are many different kinds of headaches, and some of them are caused by problems in the spine. At the Carolina Chiropractic Center, we want our patients to know it is possible for them to find relief through safe, noninvasive means such as those we provide to people suffering from cervicogenic headaches.
“Cervicogenic” refers to something which originates in the neck. When the nerves in the neck vertebrae are pinched or the soft tissue surrounding them is put under too much pressure, pain can radiate upwards into the back of the head. From there, it can spread to other parts of the patient’s craniofacial structure, but a cervicogenic headache should not be confused with a migraine.
If we suspect a patient is suffering from a cervicogenic headache, we will investigate with an x-ray or MRI. When the cause of the patient’s pain is confirmed, we can treat it with adjustments, electric muscle stimulation, and cold lasers.
