What can cause shooting dull pain on top of head?

Neck/cranial problem: This is not uncommon in people with neck vertebra &/or cranial bone dysfunction.A good osteopathic hands-on exam & history may help discern the cause. Osteopathic manipulation can often fix such problems and relieve the recurring headache.
