Have you noticed that a bad night’s sleep or dehydration or stress makes both your neck pain and Headaches worse
Have you noticed that as your neck muscle tension builds up, your Headaches and neck pain increases 
Are you convinced that your Headaches and Migraines are coming from your stiff neck 

Well, the great news is.. you are correct! Research now shows a clear relationship between the neck joints, muscles, nerves and those of the head and facial region. There is also strong research evidence showing that Headaches and Migraines that come from the neck present with similar symptoms. 

Traditionally, medical specialists like Neurologists have thought that there is no link between neck pain and Headaches, instead attributing Headaches to causes within the brain and as a result many Headache and Migraine Sufferers undergo various medical investigations including Brain MRI and CT scans to look for the cause of their Headaches and Migraines inside the brain. However, the body of research over the past 20 years have now shown that Headaches and Migraines Sufferers often present also with Neck pain and it is extremely important to carry out a thorough assessment and examination to determine if the neck pain is the cause of, or part of, another headache type, when treating Headache and Migraine Sufferers.
