The cause and triggers of headaches in men fall into three categories:

Structural Causes

Disc degeneration or trauma may damage the upper neck resulting in pressure on the upper cervical nerves. Accidents such as sporting or whiplash type injuries can lead to dysfunction of the upper neck area resulting in headaches and migraines both at the time, or long after the event.

Vascular Causes

Tension of the neck and shoulder muscles which are often work related can lead to the vascular triggers of a headache or migraine. This tension can apply pressure on the nerves that supply blood vessels to the head.

Lifestyle Causes

Lifestyle factors contribute to headaches and migraines. These are also some of the factors that people have the most control over but patients are often bewildered by conflicting advice.

How can we help?

The Cervicogenic Headache Clinic in Harley Street offers an intensive functional rehabilitation programme providing a comprehensive approach to managing headaches arising from dysfunction of the neck.

The programme’s natural approach has significantly helped others to return to normal life providing an alternative to long-term medication or nerve destroying injections.
