Headaches and migraines are not only painful, but they can also be disruptive, even debilitating. If the pain of headaches or migraines has become unbearable or is affecting your work and life, the specialists at Comprehensive Pain & Neurology Center can help.
Yes! Headaches and migraines cause pain in the face and head, as well as other symptoms, such as vision changes and sensitivity. Here are a few of the headaches we treat:
To diagnose your headache, our providers will talk with you about your symptoms, and do physical and neurological exams. A neurological exam checks your sensory and motor responses.
Your provider may also complete blood and imaging tests to rule out other medical conditions. Imaging tests may include a CT scan or an MRI to examine the blood vessels, muscles and tissues in your neck and head.
To help pinpoint the cause of your headaches and determine what is triggering them, you may also be asked to keep a headache log. This helps your provider identify triggers or other common factors causing your pain.
Headaches, and especially migraines, can be triggered in a variety of ways. Here are a few common triggers, but this is not an exhaustive list:
Regular exercise and drinking plenty of water can help prevent headaches. Exercise reduces stress and helps relieve muscle tension.
Keeping a log of your headaches can help you identify your triggers. The more you know about what causes your headaches, the better prepared you are to prevent and stop them.
