For some people, head pain is an everyday occurrence and can have a significant impact on their enjoyment of life. However, all is not lost because treatment can help to overcome pain and reduce frequency of headaches for most people by simply addressing the root cause of the pain.
Headaches can occur anywhere in the head and can affect one or both sides of the head at the same time. Usually, the people we see with ongoing headaches are due to neck problems or postural issues, but there can be many root causes for their pain.
Migraines are a more severe, throbbing head pain that are often one sided and can be combined with symptoms such as feeling sick, dizziness, flashing lights in your vision and hearing disturbances.
