Cervicogenic Headache

2017-12-24 12:50:06
I have been suffering from cervicogenic Headache and neck pain for the past 4 months. I went for CT scan and MRI but all showing normal. So far allopathic medicines are failed in showing any recovery. Also I have been doing exercises after consultation from physiothepist, but it is also not helpful. I bought a traction kit for neck but it is still paining persistently. The pain is in sub occipital area. I am having a sound sleep every night with normal bp. Please suggest what to do now
