As discussed [[Introduction to Cervicogenic Headaches|here]], cervicogenic headache (CGH) is caused primarily by dysfunction in the upper cervical spine. However, patients with CGH are also highly likely to have myofascial trigger point pain from overactivity in their anterior neck muscles, including sternocleidomastoid (SCM), as well as [[Superior Scapula and Cervicogenic Headaches|upper trapezius]] and temporalis.<ref>Page P.
