It is recommended that patients use drugs such as ibuprofen, celecoxib, ethperisone**, and pay attention to maintaining good living habits and reasonable work and rest.

Neck pain usually causes headaches, and neck pain is usually caused by neck muscle strain or cervical spondylosis. Usually we must change bad work and life habits, avoid maintaining a posture for a long time, and do some physical exercises, such as jogging, tai chi, etc.

1. Neck muscle strain.

If the patient is usually active or overtired, it will lead to muscle strain. When you suffer from a neck muscle strain, it can lead to a lack of local blood**, which can lead to headaches. When the patient has a neck muscle strain, the neck massage can be performed with both hands, which can effectively promote local blood circulation and relieve the symptoms of headache.

If the pain is severe, it can be carried out with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor**, such as ibuprofen extended-release tablets, celecoxib capsules, etc.

2. Cervical spondylosis.

Cervical spondylosis is usually caused by improper living or working posture. Symptoms such as neck pain, stiffness, and numbness in the limbs are usually accompanied by radiating pain or numbness in the upper extremities, which radiates along the pinched nerve roots to the head, causing headaches. If the pain is mild, it can be carried out with painkillers under the guidance of a doctor**, such as ibuprofen extended-release tablets, mexilocam capsules, etc.

If the pain is severe and is not relieved after taking medication, the patient can go to the hospital for surgery**, such as artificial disc replacement, lamineplasty, etc.

The cervical spine is too tired due to long-term posture, such as long-term desk work, etc., resulting in hyperplasia or injury to the cervical spine, and the degenerative changes of the cervical spine compress the nerves, resulting in pain in the neck and headache caused by radiation to the head.

As you described, the neck and headache should be caused by the pain of the cervical spine due to the bad cervical spine, and the headache may be caused by excessive fatigue of the cervical spine.
