WHAT WE TREAT


When pain emanates anywhere in the head, that’s considered a headache. The pain may:

  • Become vicelike on the head
  • Isolated in one section
  • Occur on one or both sides of the brain
  • Radiate across the head from one particular point

Headaches are broken down into two types: primary and secondary.


PRIMARY HEADACHES

Primary headaches are the result of overactivity or issues with the structures in the brain that cause pain. They are not symptoms of an underlying issue. Types of primary headaches include migraines, tension headaches and cluster headaches.


SECONDARY HEADACHES
