Cervicogenic Headache
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A cervicogenic headache is a type of headache that originates in structures of the neck and is felt in the head, so its starting point is in the cervical spine.
Common symptoms: It usually presents as pain that begins in the back of the head or the neck and spreads to one side of the head, often associated with neck stiffness and with certain movements or postures.
Common causes: It can be related to problems with the joints, muscles, or nerves of the neck, as well as with postures held for a long time.
Which specialist treats it? When the pain comes from the cervical spine, the neurosurgeon may be involved in evaluating the structures concerned. With recurrent headaches linked to the neck, it is best for a professional to perform a detailed evaluation.
