What Causes Headaches & Migraines?

Many headaches are cervicogenic — meaning they originate from the neck and upper spine.

Common contributors include:

  • Forward head posture

  • Desk-based work

  • Upper cervical joint restriction

  • Muscle tightness in the neck and shoulders

  • Jaw clenching or grinding (bruxism)

  • Poor sleep position

Migraines may also be influenced by:

  • Neck dysfunction

  • Nervous system sensitisation

  • Stress load

  • Hormonal triggers
