Brief overview
Headaches
Headache is a general term covering many distinct conditions. Some have mechanical drivers in the neck and posture; others require different medical management.
Some headaches may be associated with neck dysfunction, muscle tension, posture, or cervicogenic factors. Because headaches can also signal other medical concerns, evaluation and appropriate referral are important.
