Can neck pain cause headaches and migraines?
Tension in the muscles around the base of the head and neck can cause irritation of nearby nerves that radiate pain from the base of the skull leading to headaches and tension migraines. This is often referred to as ‘cervicogenic headaches’.
By addressing the tension and improving muscle imbalance through techniques like hand-on treatment, medical acupuncture and the correct exercises, we can reduce these type of headaches and neck pain.
When should I seek treatment for neck pain?
Some neck pain and stiffness can resolve of its own accord within 2-3 days; however it’s time to see professional assessment and treatment if:
- Your symptoms persist beyond a few days without improvement.
- Your pain is starting to affect daily activities or is affecting your ability to sleep.
- You experience sharp pain with everyday movements like looking over your shoulder or getting dressed.
- Your symptoms are causing headaches or migraines.
- You’re experiencing pain, weakness, numbness or pins and needles in one or both of your arms.
- You’re unsure what’s causing your pain, but want answers and a plan to fix it.
Getting early treatment can prevent more serious issues and restriction and help you recover faster.
What are the best exercises for neck pain?
Exercises can play an important role in your neck recovery, helping to ease neck and shoulder tension and tightness, improve mobility and movement and strength the muscles that support your neck. Some simple and gentle exercises that can help relieve neck pain early on are:
- Chin tucks
- Neck Rotations
- Shoulder rolls
- Gradual neck stretches
Beyond this it is important to seek professional guidance on the right exercise to help you best overcome from your specific neck pain as doing the wrong exercise or at the wrong time can actually increase your neck pain and stiffness and slow down recovery.
