We’re here to help.

Managing Chronic Headaches

Headaches can be caused by a lot of different things. For one, stress can be a huge factor for your throbbing head. Common ones are migraine, tension headaches, sinus headaches, and cluster headaches. However, if you’ve been experiencing headaches more than once or twice a month, you should be making an appointment. There are also other warning signs to look for that may need a physician’s advice.

You’ll want to look out for some specific signs and changes in your headaches that a physician can help with. If you’re experiencing abrupt, severe headaches, especially if you’ve never had headaches before, it’s time to make an appointment. Likewise, if the pain in your head is causing confusion, seizures, fever, or difficulty speaking, someone can better aid you after an appointment. When you are no longer experiencing normal stress or hunger headache, your body is likely telling you something else. We’re here to figure that out for you. We’re also here to help manage that pain. Understanding the pain and acknowledging the pain levels is the first step. So, if you’re also experiencing headaches after a recent head injury or new ones when you’re over the age of 55, give us a visit.
