Neck Pain & Headaches
We treat stiff neck, frequent headaches, and pain radiating to the shoulders
The neck works all day supporting the head. When poor posture and excessive tension accumulate, symptoms extend beyond neck pain to include headaches, shoulder pain, and arm numbness.
Why Do Neck Pain and Headaches Occur Together?
When neck muscles (especially trapezius, suboccipital, and sternocleidomastoid) become tight, they create referred pain patterns that cause headaches. These headaches may temporarily subside with painkillers, but they recur if the root cause isn’t addressed.
Additionally, postural dysfunction (forward head posture, rounded shoulders) affects the shoulders, upper back, and arms. Yonsei Shinmyung Pain Clinic connects neck, headache, and shoulder issues for comprehensive evaluation and treatment.
