Muscle tension or cervicogenic headache is the most common type of headache, often severe in character, can severely limit the patient’s quality of life and easily lead to a real dependence on drugs to contain symptoms. In this case, it must be emphasized that painkillers and anti-inflammatories act as palliatives and their action is limited to the modulation of pain.

Cervicogenic headache, in general terms, can be related back to a chronic irritation of the cervical structure and of the related nerve endings that can generate a characteristic pain radiating from the occiput to the orbital area.

Correction and restoration of the functionality of the cervical area is effective both in the treatment of this type of headache and in the treatment of migraine headaches, suggesting in fact that their nature is not entirely vasomotor.
