C-6 neck injury

I have a student in her late forties with a c-6 neck injury, a disc; it gives her a great deal of pain and also causes headaches. She loves doing yoga but is limited in what she can do. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to what causes the headaches. Are their asanas i can do with her that will improve the condition? Is there a way to lessen or eliminate the headaches? Thank you, Dean

Usually headaches are due to excess heat (pitta). Main remedy is improve diet, follow Ayurvedic guidelines for balancing pitta, be gentle in life and asana practice, increase time with gentle ujjaye pranayama direct energy to opening blood vessels in cranial cavity. Sometimes hands on healing like Reiki can work wonders.
