Neck straining causes headache..why is it so?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Headaches: Head aches can be caused by many different things and a "muscle strain" head ache is just one cause. The neck muscles attach to muscles on the base of your head, and the referred pain/strain can be felt as a headache.
