Headaches are such a common occurrence, that almost everyone can relate to the pain they cause. In general, headaches can develop for a wide range of reasons. They can be caused by a stressful day at the office, by poor posture, by sitting at a computer for too long, or they can just occur naturally. When it comes to the amount of pain and discomfort they cause, all headaches are not created equal. There are headaches that are mild and fleeting, and there are others that are intense and nauseating. Migraine headaches are on the severe end of the spectrum, and they can become chronic and debilitating. Headaches can typically be caused by different issues within the neck and it’s surrounding structures. The neck is a highly intricate area of the body, consisting of hundreds of muscles and nerves. The

joints in your neck allow for movement, while the discs in between the bones provide support and shock absorption. Depending on the cause of the irritation, any component of the neck can become strained and irritated, and this can lead to head and neck pain, including headaches.
