Cervicogenic headaches originate from the cervical spine and cause pain that radiates to the head, mimicking migraines or tension headaches. Common causes include neck injuries, osteoarthritis, or poor posture, leading to referred pain. Diagnosis involves physical exams, medical history review, and possibly imaging studies. Treatment may include physical therapy, medication, nerve blocks, or in some cases, surgery. Addressing the underlying cervical spine issues is key to managing cervicogenic headaches effectively. Consulting a healthcare professional is crucial for accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment.
