A Migraine Headache is an intense headache that causes pain, throbbing and sensitivity to noises and light. Migraine headaches are often genetic, but can be caused by other factors including stress or tension in the neck or shoulders, overexertion during physical activity, alcohol, medication and even certain foods.
Often, patients who experience neck pain or upper back pain experience migraine headaches as well. Migraines can at times be caused by conditions of the back, neck or spine and find relief when they have these issues addressed as well.
