Headaches & Migraines
Headaches and migraines can make it difficult to focus, work, sleep, and enjoy your everyday life.

Understanding Headaches & Migraines
Headaches can vary significantly in their intensity, frequency, and symptoms. Migraines are a type of neurological condition that can cause more intense, often throbbing pain and may be accompanied by additional symptoms.
Depending on the type, headaches may be associated with muscle tension, neck stiffness, dehydration, stress, sleep changes, hormonal factors, or other triggers.
Common Symptoms & Triggers
Migraine symptoms may include:
- Throbbing or pulsing head pain
- Sensitivity to light or sound
- Nausea or vomiting
- Neck pain or stiffness
- Fatigue or irritability
- Tingling or numbness
- Visual disturbances or aura
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Difficulty concentrating or trouble thinking clearly
Headaches may also be associated with muscle tension, stress, dehydration, changes in sleep, or other underlying factors.
