What to do if i have headache for a week whenever i cough or shake my head i feel discomfort in the area i try to crack my neck to?

See Osteopath: Headache, depending where it is, can be due to inflammation, cranial bone dysf (yes they DO move), neck/upper back tension/vertebral dysf causing cervicogenic headache, etc.Osteopathic drs. are trained to treat both illnesses & musculoskeletal causes of pain.If you keep trying to crack your neck to relieve pain, it usually means the problem isn't really in your neck.Manipulation/meds may help.
