Cervicogenic Headache Treatment at Physionautics, Vasant Vihar
Cervicogenic headache is a neck-origin headache common in office workers, IT professionals and students with long screen time. It occurs when stiffness or dysfunction in the upper cervical joints (C0-C3) irritates the nerves connecting the neck and head, causing pain that starts at the base of the skull and radiates to the temple, forehead and eye, usually on one side.
It develops due to forward head posture, weak deep neck flexors, tight upper trapezius and suboccipital muscles, poor ergonomics, wrong pillow height and previous neck strain. Patients typically report one-sided headache worsened by prolonged sitting or neck movements, along with neck stiffness, reduced neck mobility and tenderness at the back of the head.
At Physionautics, Vasant Vihar, we have helped many patients become painkiller-free with an evidence-based approach. Our assessment includes headache pattern analysis, cervical posture and ROM evaluation, upper cervical joint assessment and deep neck flexor endurance testing to find the exact root cause.
