Headaches
Recurring or persistent headaches - many of which have a treatable physical cause.
About this condition
Headaches are extremely common, but 'just a headache' is rarely the full picture. Many headaches - particularly tension-type headaches - have musculoskeletal causes that respond very well to treatment. Others may involve vascular, hormonal, or lifestyle factors. A thorough assessment can identify which type you have and direct you to the most effective management.
Common symptoms
- Aching, pressure, or throbbing in the head
- Headaches concentrated at the temples, forehead, or base of skull
- Headaches associated with neck stiffness
- Headaches triggered by stress or prolonged screen use
- Sensitivity to light or noise
