Head and Neck Treatment
Chronic Migraine headaches affect an estimated 2% of the global population. It is associated with cardiovascular disease, psychiatric co morbidities and sleep disorders. Cervical Dystonia is painful condition that causes involuntary muscle contractions causing the head to turn to one side. Cervicogenic headaches have a prevalence of 1-4% and is a common cause of chronic headaches that is often misdiagnosed. It usually starts after neck movement and accompanies reduced range of motion of neck. It can be confused with migraines. Trigeminal Neuralgia is typically caused by pressure on the trigeminal nerve resulting in intense pain on one side of the face causing significant disruption of everyday activities. Cervical Spondylosis is an age-related disease process that is associated with degenerative changes of all the components of the cervical spine. Typically occurs after the 5th decade of life. It presents as neck pain with stiffness and pain when side bending or hyperextending the neck. Pain can radiate to the back or behind the ears. Cervical Radiculopathy results from compression of the cervical nerve roots possibly from a disk herniation or bony osteophyte. The pain typically radiates down the upper arms and is associated with numbness and tingling.
