Treating Cervicogenic Headaches in Raleigh & Durham, NC
The first question you might have for us is "what is a cervicogenic headache?" Simply put, this sort of headache is the result of your neck referring pain to your head (ie. your upper cervical spine). A cervicogenic headache can happen right away after an accident or over time due to bad posture or weak neck & shoulder muscles.
We often see cervicogenic headaches in patients with desk jobs who spend long periods of time in front of a computer.
PT is a great way to treat these occurrences because we can provide you with the tools & techniques to alleviate your pain. In fact, the treatment of trigger points that refer pain into the head with dry needling physical therapy is a proven remedy for headaches.
Through treatment plans that combine therapy practices such as dry needling with strengthening exercises, stretches, and manual manipulation, we are the clinic that can help you address your issue.
