Your neck is defined by seven vertebrae called the cervical spine. It’s a complex combination of working parts (muscles, ligaments, vertebrae, blood vessels, etc.) that support your head. People who have (cervicogenic) headaches experience a headache accompanied by neck pain and stiffness. In most cases, these headaches develop on one side of the head, starting from the back of the head and neck area, and radiating toward the front. Symptoms can include: loss of range of motion, neck pain/stiffness, pain around eyes, pain in the neck, shoulder, or arm, and head pain triggered by certain neck movements or positions.
Jaw Pain (TMJ)

Symptoms may include pain in the face and jaw, jaw locking, clicking, popping, or grinding sounds, difficulty chewing or opening the mouth, nerve-type pain, such as a burning sensation , and Tension headaches.
