Exercise is essential in our lives, we do this daily, but often it goes wrong. A quick diagnosis and adapted treatment is therefore very important in a quick recovery. We know from experience that a complex problem requires a complex approach. Our practice specializes in the treatment of the spine, shoulder, hip and knee problems. Due to new insights in tendonpathology we can succesfull cure these patients. There is also a solid knowledge and practical experience in the field of cervicogenic headache.

Cervicogenic headache For a number of years we have been treating patients with cervicogenic headaches in practice and a solid knowledge has been built up within this domain. Cervicogenic headache is a type of headache that originates from the neck, especially on one side of the head and is accompanied by radiating pain further in the neck, shoulder, arm and / or between the shoulder blades. It is relatively common. Up to 20% of all head forms are cervicogenic headaches. Yet it is also the most controversial form of headache. Still some neurologists see it as a form of tension headache or migraine. This is understandable due to the overlap in symptoms, but cervicogenic headache is another and separate condition due to the development from the neck and the accompanying symptoms. Cervicogenic headaches can be aggravated by a long working day, tension or a car ride. The cause of cervicogenic headache often lies in an unexpected event, for example a fall or blow to the head or neck. Headaches coming out of the neck is the most recognizable and most important symptom of cervicogenic headaches. Often there is a continuous nagging headache. In addition, the headache is often not beating or shooting. Cervicogenic headache starts in the neck and radiates to the side and front of the head, sometimes above the eyebrows. Cervicogenic headache usually occurs in periods. During these periods you have continuous pain, ranging in duration from a few hours to a few weeks. Neck movements or prolonged uncomfortable position of the head can cause more neck and headaches. The headache is mainly on one side, but double-sided headaches can occur. When the headache is on one side, it is on the same side in every subsequent pain period. In addition, vague pain complaints occur on the same side in the shoulder, arm and / or between the shoulder blades. For a number of years we have been treating patients with cervicogenic headaches in practice and a solid knowledge has been built up within this domain.

Cervicogene hoofdpijn Sinds een aantal jaren behandelen we in de praktijk patiënten met cervicogene hoofdpijn en is er een stevige kennis binnen dit domein opgebouwd. Cervicogene hoofdpijn is een vorm van hoofdpijn die ontstaat vanuit de nek, vooral aan één zijde van het hoofd zit en begeleid wordt door uitstralende pijn verder in de nek, schouder, arm en/of tussen de schouderbladen. Het komt relatief vaak voor. Tot wel 20% van alle hoofdpijnvormen is cervicogene hoofdpijn. Toch is het ook de meest controversiële vorm van hoofdpijn. Nog al wat neurologen zien het als een vorm van spanningshoofdpijn of migraine. Cervicogene hoofdpijn kan erger worden door een lange werkdag, spanning of een autorit. De oorzaak van cervicogene hoofdpijn ligt vaak bij een onverwachte gebeurtenis, bijvoorbeeld een val of klap op het hoofd of de nek. Hoofdpijn die uit de nek komt is het meest herkenbare en belangrijkste symptoom van cervicogene hoofdpijn. Vaak is er sprake van een continu zeurende hoofdpijn. De hoofdpijn is daarnaast vaak niet kloppend of schietend. Cervicogene hoofdpijn begint in de nek en straalt door naar de zijkant en voorkant van het hoofd, soms tot boven de wenkbrauwen, soms voelbaar tot in het aangezicht met lichte draaiduizeligheid. Cervicogene hoofdpijn komt meestal voor in periodes. Tijdens deze periodes heb je continue pijn, variërend in duur van enkele uren tot enkele weken. Nekbewegingen of langdurig een ongemakkelijke stand van het hoofd aanhouden, kunnen meer nek- en hoofdpijn geven. De hoofdpijn zit vooral aan één kant, maar dubbelzijdige hoofdpijn kan voorkomen.
