Understanding Cervical Headaches

Cervical headaches, also known as cervicogenic headaches, are a type of headache that originates from the cervical spine (neck region). Unlike migraines or tension headaches, cervical headaches stem from issues within the neck, such as muscle tension, nerve compression, or joint dysfunction. Understanding the root cause of cervical headaches is crucial for effective treatment. Symptoms can include:

  • Pain Location: Cervical headaches typically manifest as pain that originates from the base of the skull and radiates to the forehead, temples, or behind the eyes.

  • Neck Stiffness: Patients often experience stiffness or reduced range of motion in the neck.

  • Shoulder Pain: Pain and tension may extend from the neck to the shoulders.

  • Trigger Points: Tender points in the neck muscles may exacerbate headache symptoms.

  • Postural Issues: Poor posture or sustained positions can worsen cervical headaches.

Patient Reviews

“I can't begin to tell you what a wonderful place Premier Performance is. The staff Greg, Katilyn and Fam are always very professional, caring and helpful to your specific needs. I have been a patient on and off for several years mostly from injuries and old age. I am very happy with the care I have been given. Previously I had gone to a general therapy practice and my therapist was always working with multiple patients at the same time not at Premier Performance you get an entire hour with a dedicated physical therapist for the entire session. You basically have 2 half hour sessions manipulation for soft tissue and then an exercise session with 100% guidance so you know you are doing the exercises correctly.

My husband has also been going for neuropathy in his feet. He is also making good progress with his feet being more sensitive and a major improvement in his balance.

My grandkids and son have also been patients for sports injuries. Premier Performance was instrumental to them returning to their sport.” -Sue

“The best place I have gone for physical therapy, period. Doctor Kaitlyn Steckel is Awesome, she listens to your needs and problems. And is very helpful in getting me better.” -Lucy
