: If you possess cervical spondylosis and/or degenerative disc disease, a secondary tension headache can be triggered. Flexeril is touted as a muscle relaxant, but may not necessarily address the pain consequentially. Physical therapy with motorized cervical traction could be considered if the above mechanisms are playing a role.
