Both cause each other, whether it be directly or indirectly. I think you’re right on! :)

I have associated my migraines with neck and shoulder pain since they started. For a while no doctor took that seriously. The first doctor that did was a specialist in TMJ. The physical therapy, posture changes, and bite splint helped. In the decade or so since then I have continued to try to determine if the muscles cause the headache or the headache the muscles. I tend to see the headache causing the muscle pain the most often. I have had trigger point injections and massage and they both seem to help. They knock out my other aura symptoms that I get (random odd neurological things). During one injection round my doctor asked me if I ever had whiplash. I haven't. Never been in a wreck. I apparently have a lot of scar tissue. I also know that chiropractic was a migraine trigger as well. Great topic! I have associated my migraines with neck and shoulder pain since they started.
