Is your neck causing your migraines—or are your migraines causing your neck pain?
It's a question that sparks plenty of debate, especially among people who've found relief from migraines after receiving treatment for their neck.
In this episode of the Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves challenges the common “chicken or the egg” explanation and explores why the neck may play a bigger role in migraines than many people realize.
He explains the connection between the upper cervical spine, trigeminal nerve pathways, and the brain's interpretation of pain. You'll learn why neck dysfunction may contribute to headaches and migraines, even when MRIs or X-rays appear normal.
Dr. Taves also discusses the limitations of focusing exclusively on symptom management and why he believes evaluating neck movement, joint restrictions, and muscle tension can reveal important pieces of the migraine puzzle.
If you've been told your neck pain is simply another symptom of your migraines, this episode offers a different perspective—and questions worth asking about your treatment.
