Is it your neck?
If several of these sound familiar, your neck may be playing a bigger role in your headaches
than you’ve been told.
Pain that starts in your neck and radiates toward your head, eye, or face
Headaches that worsen with neck movement, posture, or looking down
Neck stiffness or feeling like your neck is “stuck” or restricted
Symptoms that ease at least a little when you lie down or support your neck
Headaches or neck pain that started or worsened after a car crash, fall, or sports injury
One-sided pain that tends to stay on the same side
If you mentally checked a few of these, your pattern is very similar to the patients we see for cervicogenic headache and neck-related migraine.
Why your neck matters
Shared wiring:
The top neck joints (C1-C2) share nerve connections with structures that carry head and face pain, so irritation in the neck can feel like migraine or facial pain.
Position sense:
Tight or irritated neck joints can distort how your brain senses head position, which can trigger or worsen headaches and visual sensitivity.
Everyday strain:
Screens, driving, and past injuries can slowly load the upper neck until symptoms show up as headache, neck pain, or both.
A targeted upper neck evaluation let's us see whether this is what's actually happening in your case.​
What we do differently at Keystone
We combine advanced upper cervical imaging, detailed neck movement assessments, and neuro-visual tests to determine the source of the issues.
Cone Beam CT Imaging
3D imaging of the upper neck to assess joint alignment that standard imaging can miss, relevant when previous imaging comes back "normal," yet headaches persist.
NeckCare
Measures how accurately and smoothly your neck moves, so we can see whether mechanical issues are creating movement ones, feeding your chronic headaches.
RightEye
Eye-tracking that shows how well your eyes and neck are working together. Problems here often line up with headaches, visual strain issues, and motion sensitivity.
Together, these tests help us move from "maybe it's my neck" to a clear picture of whether the neck is the primary driver of your symptoms.
Real patients, real relief
"I was able to get my quality of life back thanks to Dr. Cameron!"

neck & headache patient
Patients come to Keystone after trying multiple providers and “normal” scans.
Our goal is to finally explain why the headaches are there and what can realistically change.
