Recurrent headaches — especially migraines — disrupt work, family life and sleep. Many sufferers self-medicate with painkillers, which can actually worsen the problem over time (medication-overuse headache).
We take a detailed headache diary and history, identify your triggers and migraine type, and build a prevention-first plan that reduces both the frequency and severity of attacks.
Understanding the condition
- Migraine — throbbing pain, nausea, light and sound sensitivity
- Tension-type headache — band-like pressure, often stress-related
- Cluster headache — severe one-sided pain in cycles
- Medication-overuse headache — from frequent painkiller use
- Hypertension-related headache — a red flag to evaluate
