Ever feel that your headaches and migraines start from your neck 
Wondering if it’s possible that your neck joint stiffness is the cause of your Headaches and migraines
When thinking about headaches and migraines  it is common for people to think that stress, lack of water, the brain  or even sinus issues are the triggering factors of a headache and migraine. However research evidence now show that dysfunction of the neck joints and a hypersensitive brainstem are responsible for the underlying cause of headaches and migraines. This is of course when all sinister pathology such as tumors or strokes have been excluded.

Dr Dean Watson, the founder of the Watson Headache Approach for Headaches and Migraines, proved in his PhD paper ‘Cervical Referral of Head Pain in Migraineurs’ that treating the first three neck joints In Migraine Sufferers, reproduction and resolution of their migraine pain led to desensitisation of the brainstem. This study outlines the importance of determining the dysfunction of the neck joints when assessing Headache and Migraine Sufferers.
