Introduction: Previous research studies have established a link between cervical dysfunction, proprioception, and balance deficits in patients with cervicogenic headache. However, no current research exists to determine if the implementation of a balance program for these patients has any effect on their balance and proprioception capabilities. This case study aimed to identify if significant changes can be made the overall balance of a patient with cervicogenic headache as measured by the NeuroCom Sensory Organization Test. Case Description: The patient was a 50-year-old female, who had been suffering from long term cervicogenic headaches with increasing frequency and intensity for 6 months. Outcomes: The patient was seen for six visits over six weeks for balance training in addition to traditional physical therapy interventions including manual therapy and therapeutic exercise. After 6 sessions the patient made an overall improvement in balance (+7.9%) measured via the NeuroCom Sensory Organization Test and clinically significant improvements in reported pain via the Headache Disability Index (91.6%), Neck Disability Index (63.6%) and the Visual Analog Scale (2.5 points). Discussion: This case report demonstrates when balance training is added to standard manual therapy interventions for the management of cervicogenic headache you can successfully improve overall balance control measured with the NeuroCom Sensory Organization Test. Further research is necessary to further validate balance programming as a key intervention strategy for the general population with cervicogenic headache and guide decision-making for these patients.

The aim of this case report is to describe the use of physio-therapy interventions in a patient diagnosed with cervicogenic headache(CGH) and temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD). This case study involveda 26 year old male. The subject’s cervical and temporomandibular joint(TMJ) active range of movement; passive accessory movements; headacheintensity, periodicity and response to analgesics; TMJ clicking and discomfort;Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) scores, were assessed on initial assessment and on discharge 14 weeks later. The physiotherapy interventionincluded cervical and TMJ mobilisation (Maitland approach); trigger pointtherapy and massage; strengthening of the deep cervical neck flexors and scapulothoracic muscles; and posture correction. The subject improved on all outcome measures and was discharged after nine physiotherapy sessions, withfull cervical and TMJ range of movement, improved muscle strength and decreased headache intensity and frequency.This case describes a positive outcome for a patient diagnosed with cervical headaches and temporomandibular dysfunction in which physiotherapy interventions aimed at correcting joint dysfunction, myofascial pain and decreased muscle strength were used effectively.
