Cervicogenic headaches are caused by referred pain from the bones, muscles, and joints in the head (occiput) and neck. These headaches are usually accompanied by neck and shoulder pain, and can be felt on one side of the head and face, and can often refer to the forehead and over one eye.
Post-concussion headaches are caused by changes in the head and neck after a trauma. Such headaches are usually accompanied by additional post-concussion symptoms including dizziness, brain fog, light sensitivity or fatigue. These can often self-resolve, though can often last beyond one month following a concussion.
