The spine can also cause pain an onset of a headache or a migraine. When a bone is subluxated in your neck, the nerves that exit at that level of the spine can sometimes cause a headache or migraine. This can also be associated with a tight, sore, or stiff neck, but does not always have to be.
The solution is to go to a licensed Chiropractor and to correct the cause of the problem (the subluxated bone). This will help with the increased tension and pressure in the neck and help to relive the headache and migraine.
