Can upper back and neck pain cause headaches?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neck pain headache: There is a condition called cervicogenic headaches that arises from neck pain. It is most likely referred pain from the upper cervical facets. The headaches typically start back of the head and radiate forward to temple or eyes. If conservative care like pain meds and therapies do not work, you can get facet blocks. Last option is to have cervical fusion surgery.
