What Causes Neck Pain & Headaches
Forward Head Posture
For every inch your head sits forward of your shoulders, the effective load on your cervical spine doubles , a leading driver of chronic neck tension.
Cervical Joint Stiffness
Facet joint restriction in the neck reduces mobility and refers pain into the head, shoulders, and arms.
Disc Dysfunction
Disc bulges or degeneration in the cervical spine can irritate nerve roots and cause radiating arm pain or referred headaches.
Muscle Imbalances
Tight upper trapezius and levator scapulae combined with weak deep neck flexors is the most common muscular pattern.
Whiplash & Trauma
Sudden acceleration-deceleration injuries can disrupt the soft tissues and joint mechanics of the cervical spine.
Stress & Bracing
Habitual tension in the neck and shoulder muscles , often stress-related , is a primary trigger for tension-type headaches.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes , cervicogenic headaches originate from neck joint and muscle dysfunction. Physiotherapy addressing these structures is highly effective, often more so than medication alone for this type of headache.
Acute neck pain often settles within 2–4 weeks with treatment. Chronic or recurring neck pain may require 6–12 weeks of progressive work to address the underlying movement patterns.
When performed by a trained physiotherapist following a thorough assessment, cervical mobilisation is safe and effective. We always tailor our approach to each patient's presentation.
