"Did you know that some headaches can be caused by your neck alone? A common headache from the neck is a tension-type headache which intermittently affects up to 70% of studied populations and chronically affects 1-3% according to the World Health Organization. Headaches are often misdiagnosed because there are over 100 different types. This can lead to mismanagement with inappropriate medications which can leave the client with confusion and frustration as his or her symptoms worsen or stay the same.The most common headaches include tension (as previously mentioned), migraines, sinus, cluster, cervicogenic, and mixed headache syndrome. These different headaches can present multiple ways. Some span the forehead. Others stick to only the right or left side of the face and head. There are even headaches that present as pain in the middle of your face. Vision can also be affected by headaches. For example, abnormal vision referred to auras is common with migraines. Physical therapists are trained to listen to your symptoms and perform special testing to help diagnose the proper headache."
