According to Stovner et al. approximately 47% of the global population suffers from headaches. Spine J has documented that 15-20% of those headaches are Cervicogenic, meaning that the cause of the headache is coming from the cervical spine (neck).

In addition, citing research done by Sjaastad, Fredriksen, and Pfaffenrath the most important clinical finding to diagnose Cervicogenic Headache is impairment of the C1-C2 (atlanto-axial) motion. This is a significant factor in the success that Dr. Cyriacks has had over his 3 decades long career in treating headaches because he focuses primarily on restoring normal motion to the Atlanto-Occipital, and Atlanto-Axial motor units.

*Please note that not all headaches respond to chiropractic care the same way that Cervicogenic Headaches and tension headaches do. It is important to have a healthcare professional determine the cause of your specific headache.
