Common headache
conditions we treat:

These are the most common type of headache and are often described as a band-like pressure or tightness around the head. They can last from a few minutes to several days and are often triggered by stress, fatigue, or poor posture.
These are characterized by intense throbbing pain, often on one side of the head. They are often accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Migraines can be triggered by a variety of factors including stress, hormonal changes, certain foods, and environmental factors.
These are a rare but extremely painful type of headache that occur in cycles or "clusters". They often occur on one side of the head and are characterized by severe pain around the eye, along with other symptoms such as tearing and nasal congestion.
These are caused by inflammation of the sinuses and are often characterized by pain or pressure in the forehead, cheeks, and behind the eyes.
Also known as medication overuse headaches, these are caused by overuse of pain medications, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and acetaminophen. They can occur when these medications are used too frequently or in too high of a dose.
