Neck Pain, or Cervicalgia, and the Migraine Syndrome
J. Wes Tanner, MD
"My neck always hurts. Sometimes it kills me so bad, I cannot
think and have to go lie down. It all started when I injured my
neck years ago. When I get stressed out it is the worst. Well,
it doesn't take much to stress me out nowadays. It's always the
back of my head and neck. I wish I could cut it out. Then maybe
I could think and remember better. The last time I had a massage
she said my neck and shoulders were the tightest she had seen in
months! Nothing seems to help for any length of time. I'm so
frustrated!"
This is a very common presentation of the http://www.migrainesyndrome.net>migraine syndrome.
Frequently their problems are compounded by
overmedication--either by self-medicating or prescription drugs.
Often there is a history of injury to the neck, for example,
whiplash. Often they have been to the chiropractor and have been
told there neck is so far out of alignment that the curve in the
neck is reversed. The curve in the neck is straightened or
reversed because of painful spasm. The trigeminal nerve
(sensation of the face) and the cervical (neck) nerves are
adjacent to each other in the brain stem (the base of the
brain). What affects one affects the other. Migraineurs who
smoke usually will develop neck problems. It is absolutely
essential for the migraineur who smokes to abstain! Smoke is a
smell. The sensitivity to the smell is the problem! Also
secondhand smoke and perfumes are major problems. The patient
can develop extreme sensitivity to stress and after years with
frequently develop fibromyalgia.
This person falls into the migraine syndrome profile. Let me
explain what I mean by the migraine syndrome. It is the outward
expression of the body's sensitivity to light, sound, smell,
food, and/or stress. Some people are more sensitive than others;
therefore, their reactions to different stimuli are greater.
This sensitivity can be manifested in the body as migraines,
sinus headaches, neck aches, palpitations, irritable bowel
syndrome, motion sickness or vertigo, reactive hypoglycemia,
temporomandibular joint syndrome (TMJ), panic attacks, and/or
fibromyalgia. Now that's a mouthful! Understanding what is going
on with you is very important in the healing process.
