How are they connected?

• Cervical muscle contraction or spasm transmits pain to the back of the head and skull

• Strongly innervated synovial compressions irritate nerve endings

• Incorrect posture (forward head posture) increases cervical tension and favors the appearance of headaches

Associated symptoms

• Pain in the back of the neck radiating toward the head

• Sensation of cranial pressure

• Recurrent migraines

• Cervicogenic headache (pain originating from the cervical region)

• Dizziness and fatigue

Osteopathic Treatment
Osteopathic treatment works by addressing the underlying cause of pain and activating the body’s natural self-healing process.

Through gentle manual techniques, it:

• Relaxes muscles in contraction or spasm

• Restores correct intervertebral mobility, eliminating strongly innervated synovial compressions

• Reduces pressure on the cervical spine and skull

• Corrects posture and habits that favor the recurrence of pain

• Decreases the frequency and intensity of migraines and cervicogenic headaches
