Types of Headaches We Treat
- Migraines: Characterized by severe throbbing pain, often on one side of the head, migraines can be accompanied by nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light and sound.
- Tension Headaches: The most common type of headache, tension headaches cause a dull, aching pain on both sides of the head and may be triggered by stress or muscle tension.
- Cluster Headaches: Intense headaches occurring in cyclical patterns, cluster headaches cause severe pain around one eye or one side of the head, often accompanied by eye watering and nasal congestion.
- Chronic Daily Headaches: Headaches occurring at least 15 days a month for at least three months, chronic daily headaches can include tension-type headaches, migraines or a combination of both.
- Sinus Headaches: Resulting from sinus inflammation due to infections or allergies, sinus headaches cause pain and pressure around the forehead, cheeks and eyes.
- Rebound Headaches: Caused by frequent use of pain medications, rebound headaches worsen over time and require specialized treatment approaches to break the cycle of medication overuse.
- Secondary Headaches: Caused by underlying medical conditions or injuries such as head trauma, brain tumors or infections, secondary headaches necessitate thorough evaluation and treatment of the underlying cause.
Treatment Modalities
We offer a range of treatment options, including:
- Medications: Prescription medications can help alleviate headache symptoms and prevent future episodes. These may include pain relievers, preventive medications and medications to manage associated symptoms such as nausea or sensitivity to light.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Simple lifestyle changes can often make a significant difference in headache management. Our team provides guidance on factors such as diet, exercise, sleep habits, stress management and posture to help reduce headache frequency and severity
- Behavioral Therapies: Techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), biofeedback and relaxation training can be effective in managing headaches, especially tension-type and migraine headaches.
- Interventional Procedures: In some cases, interventional procedures such as nerve blocks or trigger point injections may be recommended to provide targeted relief for specific types of headaches.
