Can severe muscle tension in the neck cause persistent migraines?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes it can: Most headache disorders include migraine are accompanied occasionally, and sometimes frequently, by neck pain. Conversely, most disorders related to anatomic disturbances of the cervical spine have an element of headache associated with them. Rec.: see an orofacial pain or headache specialist for definitive diagnosis and treatment.
