Headaches

We recognize that headaches can be a significant source of discomfort and disruption in your daily life. Our dedicated team is here to provide effective management strategies and treatments to help you understand, alleviate, and prevent headaches, allowing you to regain control over your well-being.

Understanding Headaches

Headaches can vary widely in their causes, intensity, and duration. They can result from a range of factors, including tension, stress, hormonal changes, and underlying medical conditions. Common types of headaches include:

Types of Headaches

  1. Tension Headaches: Often caused by muscle tension in the neck and scalp, these headaches are typically characterized by a dull, aching sensation and can be triggered by stress or poor posture.
  2. Migraine: Migraines are often accompanied by severe pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound. They may have specific triggers, including certain foods, hormonal changes, or environmental factors.
  3. Cluster Headaches: These are intense headaches that occur in cyclical patterns or clusters, often described as sharp pain around one eye. They are less common but can be debilitating.
  4. Cervicogenic Headaches: These headaches stem from issues in the cervical spine (neck), often resulting from poor posture, injuries, or degenerative conditions.

Symptoms of Headaches

Symptoms can vary depending on the type of headache but may include:

  • Dull, throbbing, or sharp pain
  • Sensitivity to light and sound
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Tenderness in the scalp, neck, or shoulders
  • Visual disturbances, especially with migraines
