Neck Pain & Cervicogenic Headache Physiotherapy — Sydney
Neck pain and headaches can vary enormously in what the source of the symptoms is and how they might present. They are commonly linked to how the neck, shoulders, and upper back are being loaded day to day, or with a specific one-off activity or movement.
Poor posture alone is rarely the full story - more often, symptoms develop when the neck is repeatedly overloaded or held in sustained positions they don’t have the capacity to tolerate. This can be a gradual build-up of stiffness and pain, or with an immediate onset of symptoms. Cervicogenic headaches (headaches referred from the neck) often start in the neck or base of the skull and refer up into the head.
Common Signs and Symptoms
Local neck pain and restricted movement
Pain radiating into shoulders, upper back, or arms
Headaches starting at the base of the skull and moving forward (cervicogenic headaches)
Muscle tension or tightness in the neck, shoulders, or upper back
Occasional dizziness or visual disturbances associated with neck movement and/or migraines
