More often than not, nerve irritation and muscle tension is the leading cause of a headache.
Why
(Reduced joint motion in the neck places pressure on the nerves in the area which radiates to the top of the head. Muscle contraction interferes with the sensitive fibers at the base of the neck that lead to the brain and spinal cord. This muscle tension often plays a contributing factor to headaches).
