Is Your Neck Pain Becoming a Headache?

Many people suffer from frequent headaches, but quite often the cause of the pain doesn’t originate from the head itself. For many of the patients that visit Cliffs Chiropractic Clinic in Southend, neck problems and headaches come hand in hand.

The tendons and ligaments found in the neck are common examples of soft tissues that are easily damaged. Routine habits such as sleeping in a particular position, poor posture or sitting in front of the TV or computer screen for too long can overstretch these tissues and cause the muscles of the neck to become strained.

Pain, stiffness and headaches are often the result.

If you suffer from headaches with no known cause, it may be worth getting your neck evaluated. It could just be the root of your problem.

Often patients who seek chiropractic care from our experienced team of chiropractors find relief from their cervicogenic headaches (headaches caused by neck problems). Patients suffering with migraine and tension-type headache may experience a significant reduction in the frequency and severity of headache episodes.

Seek prompt medical advice if your headaches are severe, persistent or worsening.
