When rheumatoid arthritis occurs in the cervical spine, it is most likely to occur in the upper neck or base of the skull. Ankylosing spondylitis is a type of arthritis that causes enthesitis, which is inflammation where the ligaments and tendons attach to bone.
The nerves and muscles in the neck can cause pain in the head. Sometimes pressure or pain appears in both the head and the neck.
Poor posture and repetitive movements can also contribute to tension headaches. The suboccipital muscles, found in the neck, often become inflamed and tender when someone has a tension headache. There are two types of tension headaches. Episodic headaches often develop as a result of stress.
Cervical spondylosis (advanced neck osteoarthritis) may be another potential cause of neck-related dizziness. This condition causes your vertebrae and neck disks to wear and tear over time.
One of the more common medical causes of headaches are pinched nerves in the neck. Pinched nerves in the neck cause headaches by compressing the nerve which generates a feeling of pain along the nerve’s pathway. Cervical Radiculopathy is a medical condition where a nerve in the upper spine becomes compressed.
