Understanding the Causes of Chronic Headaches
Headaches are common but not always well understood. Many are caused by stress, dehydration, or sinus issues. Some, like migraines, originate from inside the head, while others stem from the neck (cervical spine) and occipital nerves in the back of the head. These are known as cervicogenic headaches, which result from structural issues in the neck that irritate or compress nerves, muscles, and joints.
Common Causes of Cervicogenic Headaches:
- Cervical spondylosis (arthritis and spine degeneration)
- Cervical radiculopathy (pinched nerves)
- Cervical instability (weak muscles or loose ligaments)
- Cervical myofascial pain (tight muscles and trigger points)
- Cervical stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
- Degenerative or herniated discs
Many times, multiple issues contribute to chronic headaches, meaning treatment should address the spine as a whole. Weakness and instability of the cervical spine is often present in most cervical headache cases.
Irritation of the occipital nerves, known as Occipital Neuralgia, can also lead to sharp, stabbing pain from the neck to the forehead, often mimicking a migraine. It is usually triggered by degeneration or instability in the cervical spine.
Symptoms of Cervical Headaches:
- Pain at the base of the skull that radiates to the forehead or behind the eyes
- Stiffness and limited neck movement
- Increased headache severity after sitting for long periods
- Pain that worsens with certain neck positions
- Muscle tension in the neck and shoulders
