Did you know that headaches can come from your neck?

Headaches can be so tricky! 

There are so many different causes of headaches, including dehydration, hormone imbalance, blood sugar and eyestrain to name a few. Sometimes it takes some good old fashioned detective work to figure out where they are coming from.

Did you know that your headaches might be coming from your neck? 


Cervicogenic headaches get their start from the neck. Sometimes they can happen because the joints in your neck are not moving the way they're supposed to. In that case, an adjustment may be just what you need!


Other times, headaches can come from trigger points hiding in your neck. These sneaky spots of irritation hiding in muscles in your neck can send pain to different areas of your head and face...even your jaw!

If you've been noticing headaches that keep coming back and you want to get rid of them for good, schedule an appointment with Dr Carrie today to see if she can help!
