IF Your Headaches Are Too Severe? – Upper Cervical Treatment

by Son PMR(Physical medicine &Rehabilitation ) & Chiropractic Clinic in Seoul

What Is Cervicogenic Headache?

Cervicogenic headache is a type of headache that can be caused by structural problems in the cervical spine, particularly in the upper cervical region (C1–C2). Typically, the pain is concentrated on one side of the head and tends to worsen with neck movements or changes in posture.

Main Causes of Cervicogenic Headache

  • Structural Imbalances in the Cervical Spine
  • Muscle Tension and Stiffness
  • Trauma from Traffic Accidents, Falls, etc.
  • Prolonged Poor Posture (such as forward head posture or a straight neck)
  • Disc Problems and Nerve Compression

These factors can lead to recurrent headaches or headaches that do not improve with conventional treatments, making an accurate diagnosis essential.

What Is Upper Cervical Treatment?

Upper Cervical Treatment involves evaluating the alignment of the uppermost part of the cervical spine (C1 and C2) and providing customized treatment based on the patient’s condition. This approach differs from conventional physical or manual therapies by using precise diagnostic methods to assess cervical alignment before administering the appropriate treatment.

Expected Benefits of Upper Cervical Treatment

  • Alleviation of Headaches and Dizziness
  • Relief from Cervical, Shoulder, and Back Pain
  • Regulation of the Nervous System and Stabilization of the Autonomic Nervous System
  • Improved Blood Flow and Overall Condition

Please note that treatment outcomes may vary depending on the patient’s condition. An accurate diagnosis and a tailored treatment plan are crucial for success.
