Cervicogenic Headaches

If you have a headache that is only affecting one side of your head,
you may be experiencing a cervicogenic headache. This type of
headache may be accompanied by pain in the neck. The pain is caused
by the bony and the soft-tissue structures (muscle/tendon/ligament)
of the neck. Thankfully both osteopathy and acupuncture can help with
this type of headache.
