Treatment for cervicogenic headache often involves various approaches to achieve specific treatment goals. Here are some common focus areas in the treatment:

• Pain Relief: Through manual techniques such as neck adjustments, massage, and trigger point therapy, head and neck pain can be reduced.
• Increased Flexibility: Specific stretching exercises and techniques can help improve the mobility of the neck.
• Strength Training: Gradual introduction of strength exercises for the muscles in the neck can help reduce the strain on the areas causing the headache.
• Biomechanical Evaluation: Analysis of posture and movement patterns, as well as adjustment of ergonomic factors such as pillows and chairs, to reduce strain on the neck.
• Functional Rehabilitation: Gradually resume daily activities, with a focus on restoring optimal function in the neck.

It's important to understand that the treatment for cervicogenic headache should be tailored to individual needs and may vary from person to person. A thorough evaluation and close collaboration with an experienced physiotherapist or chiropractor are crucial for developing an effective treatment plan.

Although the treatment for cervicogenic headache typically involves professional guidance and therapy, there are several measures you can take on your own to alleviate symptoms and improve the condition:

• Follow recommended exercises: If you have been given home exercises by your therapist, it is essential to perform them regularly.
• Stay active: Do not completely stop activities that may trigger symptoms. If you can engage in short activities without experiencing pain, this is usually acceptable.
• Pain relief: Pain can sometimes be reduced by using an ice pack, heating pad, a warm shower, or by performing gentle movements.
• Medications: Use over-the-counter pain relievers as directed by healthcare professionals.
• Adapt activities: Avoid activities that lead to prolonged worsening of the headache (more than 12 hours).
• Communicate well with your therapist: So that the treatment plan can be adjusted to any changes you experience.

If you have not yet had the condition examined or have deviated from the treatment plan, it is recommended to contact healthcare professionals for further guidance."
