Introduction to Headaches
Are you experiencing tension headaches, migraines, or head pain? Looking for tension headache relief? Headaches and migraine pain are a very common medical complaint and may stem from a variety of causes such as joints, muscles, blood flow and nerves. A headache can last a few hours, to a few days, or even become a chronic condition that lasts 15 or more days per month for a prolonged period of time. Often headaches go underestimated or under-treated
3/4 of adults aged 18-65 will have a headache in a year and 30% or more report having a migraine.
