Symptoms & Conditions

Headaches

Headaches can occur regularly or infrequently and range in intensity from mild to extremely debilitating. 

Headaches are a common health concern that can significantly affect your daily life. They vary in intensity, location, and frequency, and understanding the type of headache you’re experiencing is the first step to effective treatment. Common types include migraines, which cause throbbing pain often on one side of the head, and tension headaches, which create a dull, aching sensation across the forehead or neck. Cluster headaches are severe and occur in groups, while sinus and allergy-related headaches are linked to congestion and inflammation. Another often-overlooked cause of head pain is suboccipital neuralgia—a sharp, stabbing pain at the base of the skull due to irritated nerves.

Headaches can stem from a variety of causes, such as traumatic brain injuries, misalignments in the cervical spine, high blood pressure, sinus infections, and even poor dietary habits. Identifying and addressing these underlying issues is essential for long-term relief. Treatments range from over-the-counter or prescription medications to lifestyle changes like stress management, hydration, and posture correction. In some cases, physical therapy or medical procedures may be necessary. If your headaches are frequent, worsening, or interfere with daily activities, it’s important to seek a professional evaluation to determine the cause and develop a personalized treatment plan.
