This type of headache comes from the neck, although at first it may not seem so. It may be due to problems in the vertebrae or muscles in that area. The famous sciatica pain in the neck. It occurs when a nerve in the cervical spine is irritated or compressed, causing the pain to not only stay in the neck, but to spread. This type of pain is the one that arises when the muscles of the neck and upper back become too tense, forming those annoying “knots” or contractures. This pain has to do with the joints of the cervical spine, the so-called facet joints. It occurs when these joints become worn or inflamed.
