Because of its location and range of motion, the neck is often left unprotected and subject to injury. Pain in the back or neck area can be acute, which comes on suddenly and intensely, or chronic, which can last for weeks, months, or even years. The pain can be continuous or intermittent. Even with today's technology, the exact cause of back and neck pain can be found in few cases. In most cases, back and neck pain may be a symptom of many different causes, including any of the following: Overuse, strenuous activity, or improper use such as repetitive or heavy lifting. Trauma, injury, or fractures.
At some point after this painful event has started, your headache occurs and that is the reason it feels like the neck pain caused the headache. The pain in your neck happens because you get migraines and not the other way around. However, because the neck pain precedes the actual migraine headache pain (two separate types of pain) it feels like the neck pain has caused the migraine.
