The Neck–Shoulder Connection Behind Headaches & Migraines
Episode 273
Monday, 29 December, 2025
If you’ve tried everything for headaches or migraines and still feel stuck, this episode is for you.In this episode of The Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves explains why evaluating both the neck and shoulders is critical for long-term headache and migraine relief—and why so many treatment approaches fall short.You’ll learn why the upper neck (C1–C3) is the most common source of head and facial pain, how restoring movement—not just reducing inflammation—can calm pain signals, and why focusing only on imaging, injections, or alignment often leads to short-term or incomplete results.Dr. Taves also breaks down how shoulder dysfunction can pull the neck back into tension, triggering recurring headaches and migraines, even after initial relief. This episode walks through the clinical reasoning behind addressing the neck first for pain reduction, then the shoulders for lasting results—so you can move away from constant flare-ups and dependence on medication.If you’re tired of chasing symptoms and want a clearer path forward, this episode provides a framework for understanding what’s really driving your headaches and migraines.Novera: Headache Center
