Tension-type headaches
These headaches often feel like pressure or tightness on both sides of the head. Your neck, shoulders or jaw may also feel tense. Describe the pattern and how it affects you.
Headaches linked to neck problems
Cervicogenic headaches originate from a problem in the neck. Having neck pain with a headache does not establish that diagnosis by itself. An evaluation helps clarify the connection.
