As an executive mom, you have likely tried it all - painkillers, hot showers, stretching, even caffeine, to find relief from your persistent headaches. And maybe they work for a little while. But if the pain keeps creeping back, especially after a long day at your desk, its a sign your body needs more than quick fixes. Here’s what most women don’t realise: many recurring headaches aren’t just from stress or tension. They start in your neck. And if you are only treating the symptoms, you will keep chasing relief instead of finding it. In this blog lets explore how to manage your headaches to find long lasting relief and not a quick fix.
Headaches That Start in the Neck Are Often Misdiagnosed:
Cervicogenic headaches are a specific type of headache that originates from dysfunction or strain in the upper cervical spine (your neck). They can often feel like a tension or migraine headaches but the real problem is coming from the neck.
What It Feels Like:
- Pain that starts in the neck, usually with a tightness at the base of the neck and radiates to the head.
- Stiffness, limited neck movement, or tenderness at the base of the skull.
- Headaches triggered or worsened by certain neck positions or desk posture
Posture & Nervous System Tension Make It Worse
Long hours of sitting, slouching over a screen in a poor posture, and operating in "go mode" all day puts your nervous system and neck under constant strain. That tension doesn't go away on its own.
What You Can Do:
- Start with simple posture resets throughout your day.
- Introduce movement into your daily routine.
- Add breath work to calm your nervous system.
- Incorporate light neck and shoulder mobility exercises that take under 5 minutes.
