Headache & Neck Pain

While dizziness is a general term for feeling lightheaded or unsteady, vertigo is a specific condition where you experience a spinning sensation—even when stationary. Headaches and neck pain are often interlinked. Tension in the upper back and neck muscles can contribute to different types of headaches, including:
Tension Headaches: Caused by muscle strain, stress, or poor posture.
Cervicogenic Headaches: Originating from neck dysfunction or misalignment.
Migraines: Triggered by various factors, often accompanied by neck stiffness.
Cluster Headaches: Severe headaches with potential neck tension as a contributing factor.
Postural Headaches: Resulting from prolonged poor posture, such as extended screen time.

Neck pain can manifest as:

• Limited mobility (difficulty turning or tilting the head)
• Sharp, stabbing pain or dull, persistent aches
• Radiating pain to the shoulders, arms, or upper back
• Muscle tightness and stiffness
• Numbness or tingling in the arms and hands
• Ignoring these symptoms can lead to worsening pain, reduced mobility, and other complications such as pinched nerves, chronic headaches, or balance issues. Both can be caused by various factors, from inner ear issues to migraines and neurological conditions.
