Headache Relief in Seattle
Headaches are common, yes, but that doesn’t mean you should have to live with them. Sitting at a computer for hours, sleeping in an awkward position, fatigue, dehydration, muscle tightness—modern life creates plenty of opportunities for headaches to take hold.
Your Neck May Be the Culprit
Cervicogenic headaches are among the most common and most overlooked types. Cervicogenic simply means the headache is originating from the neck. Many people spend years treating the headache itself without ever addressing what is actually driving it. If any of the following sound familiar, your neck may be the source of your pain:
- You have muscle tension at the base of your skull
- Stretching your neck brings some relief
- Your posture tends to be head-forward with rounded shoulders
- Your neck feels tight and you feel like it needs to pop
- You notice pain at the lower part of your neck or between your shoulder blades
- Your headaches get worse with stress or long hours at a screen
- Your headaches have become a regular part of your week
If one or more of those ring true, there’s a good chance your headaches are coming from or being made worse by a problem in your neck.
