Headache Treatment

Headache Causes and Treatments

Headaches can be characterized as a throbbing sensation in the head or upper neck. Headaches occur due to pain signals travelling between the brain, blood vessels, and surrounding nerves.

Depending on the intensity and location of the pain, a headache can be classified between several different types, including:

Migraines
Tension Headaches
Cluster Headaches
Neuralgias

No matter the kind of headache, please consult the neurologists at the Neurology Center in Houston, TX at (713) 795-0074.

Common Causes of Headaches

Headaches develop for numerous reasons. Headaches may also develop due to a head injury or trauma. Other common causes of headaches may include:

Eyestrain
Poor Posture
Alcohol Use
Stress
Irregular Sleeping Pattern
Depression
Skipped Meals
Environmental Stimuli (changing weather, noise, tobacco smoke, perfume, and strong odors)

Headache Treatments

The most common type of headache is a tension headache, and these can normally be managed with over-the-counter medications. However, if they're recurring frequently, you may consider consulting a neurologist to see if there are any more serious underlying causes. The neurologist will conduct a physical exam and a headache evaluation. Depending on the specific type of headache you suffer from, the neurologist may suggest behavioral modifications, medication, stress management, or counseling for treatment.
