Many people suffer from conditions like cervical dizziness or cervicogenic headaches, which are often rooted in dysfunction within the neck. These conditions can be more than just uncomfortable—they can interfere with daily life, making it difficult to focus, work, or enjoy the activities you love.
What’s Going On?
Cervicogenic headaches and cervical dizziness stem from the neck’s muscles, joints, and nerves. Due to factors like poor posture, stress, or past injuries, the neck can develop imbalances that impact the way it moves and functions. When the upper neck joints and muscles are irritated, they can refer pain to the head, resulting in headaches, or affect balance centers, leading to dizziness.
Take-Home Tips for Relief
Here are a few small steps you can take to start feeling better:
- Mind Your Posture: Poor posture can exacerbate neck pain and headaches. Keep your head aligned over your shoulders, whether sitting, working, or using your phone.
- Gentle Stretches: Regular, gentle stretching can help release tension in the neck and upper shoulders. Try slowly moving your head side to side or up and down a few times each day.
- Stay Active: Low-impact activities like walking or Pilates can strengthen your neck and upper back muscles, reducing stress on the cervical spine.
- Limit Triggers: Pay attention to activities or postures that make symptoms worse. Adjusting your environment, like raising your monitor height or reducing time spent looking down at your phone, can ease pressure on the neck.
