- Strain or tension from repetitive movements or overuse
- Injuries sustained from accidents, whiplash, or trauma
- Degenerative conditions like cervical spondylosis
Headaches frequently co-occur with neck pain and can be classified into two main types:
Tension-Type Headaches
The most common form is characterized by dull, persistent pain often caused by muscle tightness in the head, neck, and shoulder regions.
Cervicogenic Headaches
These headaches originate from issues within the cervical spine joints or surrounding musculature, and they can be exacerbated by poor posture or neck strain.
