Cervicogenic headaches are by definition headaches caused by a problem in the cervical (neck) spine. That said, neck pain is a common symptom of different headache disorders and diseases including Migraine. For a diagnosis, a doctor needs to be consulted. Preferably a headache specialist who is best able to diagnose, treat and manage headache disorders.
