Two quite different problems wear the same name. One stays in the neck and the top of the shoulder and comes from the joints and the muscles. The other sends symptoms down the arm, with numbness or weakness, and comes from an irritated nerve root.
Rotation and extension range, arm reflexes, grip strength and sensation tell them apart at the first appointment. Everything after that — whether imaging is needed, whether an injection is on the table — follows from that answer.
Headaches that sit at the base of the skull, favor one side, or build the longer the head is held in one position are usually coming from the upper cervical joints rather than from the head itself.
The examination tests those joints directly. Where they are the source, treating the neck is what changes the headache, and treating the headache alone tends not to hold.
Chiropractic care restores rotation and side-bending in the segments that have locked. Physical Therapy retrains the deep neck flexors and the scapular muscles. Acupuncture is used where the upper trapezius and suboccipital tension will not release.
Where arm symptoms persist or the pain is not settling, the Pain Management physicians consider a cervical epidural steroid injection, or radiofrequency ablation of the facet joints once diagnostic blocks confirm them. In Colorado Springs those are performed in office at InterQuest.
Most major commercial plans are accepted and most Medicare Advantage plans are in network in Colorado. Benefits are verified before you come in.

Often, yes. Headaches that sit there, favor one side, or build the longer you hold one position usually come from the upper cervical joints.
Neck pain stays in the neck and shoulder; a pinched nerve sends symptoms down the arm with numbness or weakness. The examination separates them.
Not usually at first. Imaging is ordered when there is arm weakness or numbness, or when a reasonable course has not helped.
In office at InterQuest, off the InterQuest Parkway exit on I-25.
Facet joint pain in the neck, once diagnostic blocks have confirmed those joints are the source.
It helps with the restriction, but the deep neck flexors and shoulder blade muscles need retraining or the problem returns.
