Chiropractic Headache & Migraine Treatment in Scottsdale

Headaches and migraines can present in different forms, and the specific characteristics of the pain can vary based on factors such as the type of headache or migraine and the underlying cause.

Tension Headaches: Tension headaches are the most common type of headache and are characterized by a dull, aching pain, often described as a tight band around the head. They are typically caused by muscle tension or stress.

Migraines: Migraines are a type of severe headache that is usually accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Migraine pain is often described as throbbing or pulsating and may be localized to one side of the head.

Cluster Headaches: Cluster headaches are characterized by sudden, severe pain on one side of the head, often around the eye. They tend to occur in clusters, with multiple episodes happening over a period of weeks or months, followed by a period of remission.

Sinus Headaches: Sinus headaches are associated with pain and pressure in the face and forehead, and they often occur in conjunction with sinusitis or sinus infection. They may be accompanied by nasal congestion and a feeling of fullness in the ears.

Cervicogenic Headaches: Cervicogenic headaches are headaches that originate from the neck and are caused by issues with the cervical spine or surrounding structures. The pain is typically felt at the back of the head and may radiate to the front.
