In my experience as a physical therapist, most headaches and neck pain are due to the shoulder blades sitting too low on the trunk. I know this may sound odd but, to put it simply, there are muscles attaching from the shoulder blade directly to the first four neck vertebrae and skull. When the shoulders sit too low, these muscles then pull on the neck bones and skull causing neck pain and headaches.
Here’s a quick, simple test to see if this is a contributing cause of your headaches. If you’re having right-sided neck pain or headaches, raise your right hand and place it flat on top of your head for 20 seconds. Make sure your head doesn’t side-bend or rotate to achieve this. If your pain diminished after this test, then your scapula may be sitting too low causing your discomfort. This is easily correctable. This is also the culprit in diagnoses such as thoracic outlet syndrome and carpal tunnel syndrome. I’ve just written a book about fixing neck pain and headaches using an approach based on this mechanical connection to the shoulder and neck. It has been very effective over the last few years and I think is worth a try if you haven’t found the answers you are seeking.
I’ve also posted this and another test on YouTube, if you’re interested.
The right hand on head test is me. I watch tv with my right hand up behind my head. Is there a cure or procedure? I have 2 bulging discs, arthritus and bone spurs. I’m otherwise healthy 47.

just strated posture pump got from a pain clinic injections not helping does posture pump help with painful spurs c-6,c-7 surgeon will not do surgery said could make worse.
Bone spurs in the cervical spine is a very serious condition. The posture pump is an amazing tool, but limited in its focus for improving the normal lordotic curve in the cervical or lumbar spine. It can also reverse the effects of degenerative disc disease and disc bulging. Bone spurs are evidence that your spine has undergone severe degeneration. If your discomfort is relieved by extension (tilting the head up and back), you may have some hope using the posture pump safely. If extension aggravates your symptoms, I wouldn’t even consider using the posture pump. Before considering using the posture pump with your specific condition, I would recommend talking to the surgeon and bringing him information about the posture pump.
