Researchers in lab coats discover cervicogenic headaches.
In the medical journal cephalgia, researchers were astonished to find that injury to the neck can lead to headaches.
“The cervical disc protrudes and compresses a portion of the spinal cord, causing pain that may limit neck movement. The pain radiates through the shoulder into the arm, and numbness or paralysis of the fingers may also occur.
“Now, investigators add headache to the list of possible symptoms.”
What do they suggest as a good treatment for cervicogenic (coming from the neck) headaches?
“As mentioned, the physicians also found that removal of the prolapsed disc by surgery led to a significant reduction or disappearance of pain and headache in 80 percent of patients. The pain was relieved 1 week after surgery and was still gone after 3 months, they note.”
I have a better option…
Back surgery fails 80 percent of the time!
