How Guildford Spine Centre Can Help with Headaches and Neck Pain This Spring

As the sun returns and the days grow longer in Guildford and across Surrey, many of us are embracing the outdoors. Walking the Surrey Hills, gardening, cycling, or simply enjoying the fresh air. But for those suffering from persistent headaches, neck pain, or back discomfort, this active season can be a double-edged sword.

At Guildford Spine Centre, we understand how disruptive these symptoms can be, especially when you're eager to make the most of the spring and summer months. What many people don’t realise is that headaches, particularly tension or cervicogenic headaches, can often stem from issues in the neck and upper spine.

Why Headaches May Be More Common This Time of Year

Spring and early summer encourage us to move more, but increased activity without proper posture or warm-up can lead to strain. Gardening, carrying sports equipment, or even long weekend drives can trigger neck tension. Add to that the ongoing effects of prolonged desk work or mobile phone use (what we call “tech neck”), and it’s no surprise that many Guildford residents experience a spike in headaches and musculoskeletal pain at this time of year.

Many patients report headaches that start at the base of the skull and radiate forward. These are often signs of referred pain from the neck not just stress or dehydration. If this sounds familiar, it's worth exploring a spinal or postural assessment with a professional.
