What We Treat
Is Your Headache Coming from Your Neck?
Many headaches are attributed to physical factors related to the musculoskeletal system. We commonly treat:
- Cervicogenic Headaches: Pain that originates in the neck structures (joints or muscles) but is felt in the head.
- Tension-Type Headaches: Often caused by stress and tightness across the neck and shoulders.
- Posture-Related Issues: "Tech neck" or poor desk posture creating sustained load on the upper neck.
Common Triggers We See
We find that stress, neck stiffness, nerve irritation, and prolonged poor postures are major contributors to the patients we see in our Aberdeen clinic.
