Headaches accompanied by neck pain can have various causes, and the combination of symptoms may indicate different underlying issues. Here’s a description:

1. Tension Headaches:

   • Description: Tension headaches are the most common type of headache. They often present as a steady ache on both sides of the head and may be accompanied by muscle tenderness in the neck and shoulders.
   • Neck Pain Connection: Tension headaches can be triggered or exacerbated by muscle tension in the neck and upper back.

2. Cervicogenic Headaches:

   • Description: These headaches originate from issues in the cervical spine (neck) and may cause pain that radiates to the head.
   • Neck Pain Connection: Cervicogenic headaches are often associated with neck pain, and they can be triggered by conditions such as cervical spinal stenosis, herniated discs, or muscle imbalances in the neck.

3. Migraines:

   • Description: Migraines are a type of headache characterized by intense throbbing pain, often on one side of the head. Migraines can be accompanied by sensitivity to light, sound, and nausea.
   • Neck Pain Connection: Some individuals experience neck pain or stiffness as a part of the prelude (aura) or during the migraine attack.
