Has anyone been successfully treated for Cervicogenic Headaches?
I was recently diagnosed with Cervicogenic Headaches– which are chronic (at least in my case) headaches that result from a neck injury or neck tension. I went to a neurologist who I didn’t think was a very good doctor, so I am not very inclined to follow his instructions… and my other doctors seem to disagree with them anyway. Has anyone else had these types of headaches and gotten relief from a certain method/what was it? I realize (from searching for it on yahoo) that this isn’t a very common headache…
also, I am 20 yrs old and I am at a music school playing a stringed instrument (viola) … which probably contributed to neck problems or might even be the source of them.

Over 13 years ago I had a compressed fracture in my neck from a car accident. And I got some wicked headaches.I cried and got sick. I went to a Palmer chiropractor.He aligned me and I felt somewhat better after awhile. I also put ice packs on my neck and that helps too. I take my pain reliever but I hate it.
The alignment hurts for a couple of days at first, then you feel like “hey I feel okay”.
Here’s a page I wrote about the problem you are having. Perhaps you can find someone locally who does this sort of treatment:
