Can a cervical herniated disc cause headaches?

Yes, it's a cervicogenic headache. The neck nerves (C1-C3) are connected to the trigeminal nerve, which causes the brain to misinterpret neck pain as a headache. It typically presents with pain starting from the back of the head and radiating to the eyes. Cervical adjustment is the answer.

목을 고쳐야 머리가 낫습니다.

  • 증상: 한쪽 뒷머리에서 시작해 귀 뒤를 타고 눈이나 관자놀이까지 뻗칩니다.
  • 도침: 신경을 누르는 근육 유착 부위를 도침으로 박리해주면 효과가 아주 좋습니다.
  • 베개: 경추 커브를 살려주는 베개 사용이 치료의 절반입니다.
