The goals of this contribution are to evaluate functional disturbance of cervical spine and its influence on headache. It is an important topic, because prevalence of cervicocranial syndrome is present from 2 to 30% according to various literature sources. CC syndrome belongs to civilisation illnesses. The most frequent source is dysfunction of cervicocranial joints C0-C1-2-3, C-Th junction, blockade of 1. ribs and jointed muscle spasm.
Method: We investigated functional disturbance of cervical spine in above mentioned segments exactly using methods of Musculosceletal Medicine (accepted by the Federation International of Musculosceletal Medicine). We measured intensity and frequency of headache by 10 degree’s analogue scale of pain. We tried to bring a proof of possibility of treating these pains by soft tissue techniques.
Key words: cervicocranial syndrome, dysfunction of motor system, soft tissue techniques
