Headaches happen for lots of reasons. It can be hard to know what kind you have and what's causing it. But if it's related to a problem in your neck, there's a good chance it's a cervicogenic headache (CH).

Other signs may include:

Luckily, chiropractic is an excellent resource for tackling this troublesome issue. Through regular chiropractic care headaches including cervicogenic and migraines can be well managed. As of recent, there have been growing studies indicating that chiropractic adjustments are a safe, conservative, and effective way to manage these headaches.
