Is your neck pain contributing to your migraines?
Is Your Neck The Cause Of Your Migraines Or Just A Symptom?
TAKE THE MIGRAINE ASSESSMENT AND FIND OUT
Upper neck problems can significantly worsen migraine symptoms!
Over 80% of migraine sufferers have problems in their upper neck.
There is a significant contribution from the upper part of the neck for many people with migraine, but not everyone.
To effectively treat and prevent your migraines you must know the actual underlying causes of the symptoms.
Just because you have neck pain with your migraine, it doesn't mean that you have a neck problem that is causing it, but you do need to get it assessed by s skilled practitioner, one who has advanced training in migraine.
Our online Migraine Assessment can help you get clear on what is causing your migraines, so you know what you have to address to find long term migraine relief. It can help take all the guesswork out of finding your solution.
There are a few key symptoms that would indicate that your neck is involved
- neck pain and stiffness either during, before or after your migraine
- a history of trauma, such as falls, concussion, car accidents ( even minor trauma can cause it!)
- signs of degeneration in the neck (osteoarthritis)
- teeth grinding and jaw pain
- moderate to high levels of stress
- struggling to find the right pillow and get comfortable
- problems sleeping, waking up tired, and feeling lethargic
- poor posture
- waking up with a migraine or headache
Migraine researchers recommend having your neck assessed by a migraine expert - someone who has advanced training in evaluating and treating people with migraine, such as the team at Melbourne Headache Solutions.
Many people know their migraines are linked to their neck but they are not aware that it needs to be assessed and treated by a professional with post-graduate training in migraine care. Just because you have had some treatment on your neck in the past and it hasn't delivered long-lasting results, it doesn't mean that your neck is not involved, it may just mean that it has not been assessed and treated properly.
