Cervicogenic Headache Treatment
Headache generated by the upper cervical joints and nerves.
Overview
What Cervicogenic Headache Actually Is
Upper cervical joints refer pain into the back of the head, behind the eye, and over the temple, producing headaches that are routinely treated as migraines for years. Treating the cervical source can change the headache pattern substantially.
Symptoms patients describe
- Headache starting at the base of the skull
- One-sided pain that does not switch sides
- Triggered by neck position or prolonged screen work
- Associated neck stiffness and shoulder tension
Diagnosis
How It's Confirmed Here
- 01
Hands-on exam
Each structure is loaded separately so the source is narrowed before any imaging is ordered.
- 02
Imaging review
Your existing films are reviewed independently by Dr. Hyzy — not just the outside report.
- 03
In-room ultrasound
Dynamic imaging while you move, so tissue quality and behavior are seen live.
- 04
Diagnostic guided injection
When more than one structure could be responsible, a targeted block confirms which one is.
