A Pain In The Neck: Injections of steroids into and around the joints in the neck can temporarily relieve the pain. There are specific indications and contraindications for the procedure so make sure your doctor discusses this with you and is qualified to do those kinds of injections. They are not a magic cure but can help for a while, in some people for a long while if repeated every several months.

CervicogenicHeadache: Most headache disorders 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. See your PCP for evaluation, diagnosis and treatment. Good luck.
