No: Try nsaids, ice, heat...Pain can be relieved with over-the-counter medications like advil or aleve (naproxen). Follow directions on label. Ice for about 45 minutes will address inflammation never apply ice to the skin, always over a towel or clothing. Follow this by heat for about 20 to 25 minutes to help soothe and relax tight muscles. Gentle range of motion and stretching exercises. If persists, see doc.

Cervicogenic HA: Many of the muscles of the neck originate from the skull which explains why one can experience headache (ha) from neck muscle spasms. When the muscles go into spasm they may impress on the nerves which originate from deep in the neck and travel to the back of the skull as they pierce through these muscles. Other more serious underlying pathology is possible.
