Cervicogenic headaches originate from issues in the neck rather than the head itself. They often cause pain that starts at the base of the skull and may radiate toward the forehead or behind the eyes. Poor posture, neck stiffness, or previous injury are common contributing factors.
Physiotherapy helps treat cervicogenic headaches by addressing neck joint restrictions and muscle tension. Through hands-on care and targeted exercises, physiotherapy reduces headache frequency, improves neck mobility, and supports long-term symptom relief.
These headaches are closely linked to neck movement and posture. Physiotherapy focuses on restoring healthy neck mechanics and reducing strain on surrounding tissues.
Pain starting from the neck
Reduced neck mobility
Head pain with movement
Muscle tightness
Postural-related discomfort
Physiotherapy supports headache relief by improving neck function and reducing recurring triggers.
Manual therapy and soft tissue techniques reduce joint stiffness and ease muscle tension in the neck.
Therapeutic exercises improve neck range of motion and promote smoother, pain-free movement.
Targeted strengthening improves neck stability and reduces stress during daily activities.
