Understanding Headaches

Headaches can range from mild discomfort to debilitating pain and significantly impact your daily life. They can be caused by a variety of factors, each potentially requiring different treatment strategies.

Common Types of Headaches

• Tension Headaches: Often related to stress, muscle strain, or anxiety.
• Migraines: Can include symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound.
• Cervicogenic Headaches: Stem from issues within the neck, including muscular tension, vertebral misalignment, or nerve compression.
