Introduction[edit | edit source]
As discussed 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 upper trapezius and temporalis.[1]
