The muscles, ligaments and joints around the cervical spine (neck) can cause pain and dysfunction in the neck.
Tension headaches, migraines, hormonal migraines and cervicogenic headaches may all be caused by the neck and shoulder region.
Treatment
We always focus on identifying the cause, rather than treating the symptoms. Common treatment options would include:
- Assessment of body biomechanics, range of movement, and muscle function
- Soft tissue massage
- Manual mobilisation to improve stiffness
- Dry needling and acupuncture
- Exercise prescription
- Taping
- Lifestyle modifications
- Posture correction and changes
- Ergonomic work set up and modifications
