Living with Headaches and Migraines

More than 50 million American adults experience severe headaches or migraines annually that are debilitating enough to seek medical care. Yet many continue to suffer without receiving the specialized treatment they need. We understand that headaches aren't just a normal part of life to endure. They are complex neurological conditions requiring expert diagnosis and personalized care.

Different Types of Headaches

Headaches are classified as either primary disorders (where the headache itself is the condition) or secondary disorders (caused by another underlying health issue). Primary headache disorders include a spectrum of conditions, from tension-type headaches and migraines to cluster headaches and neuralgias.

Secondary headache disorders include those resulting from head injuries, cervical spine disorders, or from overuse of certain medications, among others. Proper diagnosis often requires a comprehensive evaluation by specialists who understand the nuanced differences between headache types.
