Sternocleidomastoid syndrome is often characterized by referred pain in other areas. Like all muscles, the SCM can develop tight, and non-contracting bands called trigger points that can refer pain elsewhere. For the SCM, the trigger point referral areas are the eye and forehead, the back of the head (occiput), front of the neck, cheek, and side of the head. Trigger points can be treated by direct manual massage, dry needling, or platelet-poor plasma injection.
Cervicogenic headache is a specific type of headache that originates from the cervical spine and is typically chronic in nature. Diagnostic criteria for CGH have been established by the International Headache Society (IHS) and are cited extensively in the literature. Diagnosis of CGH through manual examination is a more recent practice. To our knowledge, no systematic review of manual diagnosis of CGH has been performed.

| biodex balance system | assessment of posture stability, level eight was selected on the (the most stable level), then the dynamic limit of stability testing mode was selected and then the data of each patient were inserted into the device. The patient was instructed to try to achieve a centered position on the platform by moving their feet, once the platform was programmed to move. Visual feedback was provided on screen, with the cursor moving in relation to the feedback from the patients' feet. Once the cursor had been centered, the platform was kept level beneath the patient's feet while the patient was standing in a comfortable upright position |
