Overview
Many recurring headaches, particularly tension-type and cervicogenic headaches, are linked to tightness and restricted movement in the neck and upper back.
Migraine is a distinct neurological condition, but neck-related tension can still act as a trigger or add to overall symptom load.
Common symptoms
- Pain starting at the base of the skull or neck
- A band-like tightness around the head
- Headaches linked to poor posture or screen time
- Reduced neck mobility alongside the headache
- For migraine: throbbing pain, sensitivity to light or nausea
Possible causes
- Muscle tension in the neck and upper shoulders
- Prolonged screen use and forward-head posture
- Jaw clenching or teeth grinding
- Poor sleep and dehydration
- Stress and irregular routines
