YOUR HEADACHE MAY BE COMING FROM YOUR NECK!
There are many reasons why headaches may occur. A very common source of a headache may be your neck. Often times it comes from an area called the CV region. This is located near the base of your skull, at the upper part of your neck. Some traits of a “cervicogenic headache”: • One-sided and typically does not change sides • Will often experience neck and/or neck-shoulder pain as well • Pain usually starts at the neck and can spread to the following areas:
• Back of the skull • Near the temple • Behind the eye
A really great exercise that may help with this is called a chin tuck SNAG. Use a small towel and line up one end at the level of your hairline. Hold the towel taut at about eye level. While keeping the towel taut, perform a chin tuck - creating a double chin. Hold this for 5 seconds and repeat this 10 times.
Avoid tipping your head backwards or forwards. Rather, you are thinking about sliding the head backwards like a drawer.
Give this a try and you may find that this improves your headache!
April's Story Hello, my name is April Martin, I am the office administrator/receptionist at our Elmira clinic. My family and I live outside of Elmira on my husband’s home farm. This time of year, I spend most of my free time away from the desk in my flowerbeds. As a family we all enjoy being busy outside, whether it is fun activities like camping, canoeing, and hiking or work like planting, weeding or picking raspberries, beans, corn or potatoes from our garden. I was welcomed to the SOS team almost 5 years ago after needing a new challenge to go along with my ever changing, growing up too fast family and as they say time flies when you are having fun and it seems to have been doing just that! It is hard to believe the years have gone by so quickly. I have learned many new things in my time here and will have my second child going off to college in the fall (only one more kid to go!). I feel blessed to be a part of this team. My favorite part of working here has been that all of the staff, from the front desk to the owners go out of their way to help and support each other and the clients to achieve their personal best and I am proud to add to this environment. I truly hope that as a client you feel welcomed and supported while reaching your goals during your treatment.
