Headache: Personalized Diagnosis and Effective Treatment for Lasting Relief

Headaches are among the most common neurological disorders, affecting millions of people worldwide. At our clinic, we specialize in diagnosing and treating all types of headaches with a personalized, patient-centered approach. Whether your headaches are occasional or chronic, we are here to help you find relief and improve your quality of life.

Understanding Headaches

Headaches can range from mild to severe and may occur as a standalone condition or as a symptom of an underlying issue. There are two primary types of headaches:

• Primary Headaches: These occur independently and are not caused by another medical condition. Examples include:

  • Migraine: Intense, throbbing pain often accompanied by nausea, light sensitivity, or aura.

  • Tension-Type Headaches: A dull, aching pain that feels like a tight band around the head.

  • Cluster Headaches: Severe pain around one eye, occurring in cycles or clusters.

• Secondary Headaches: These are caused by an underlying condition, such as:

  • Sinus infections

  • Head trauma

  • High blood pressure

  • Neurological disorders

When to Seek Medical Help for Headaches

While most headaches are benign, you should seek medical attention if you experience:

• Sudden, severe headaches (thunderclap headaches)

• Headaches that worsen or don’t respond to over-the-counter treatments

• Headaches accompanied by neurological symptoms, such as confusion, weakness, or vision changes

• Chronic headaches that disrupt your daily life

• New headaches after age 50 or following a head injury
