Headaches/Migraines

Headaches can be frustrating. Migraines can be life changing.

If you've never experienced a migraine, it is difficult to understand how much they can impact your day, your work, your family, and your quality of life. They aren't "just headaches." Many people experience throbbing pain, pressure, light sensitivity, sound sensitivity, nausea, 
dizziness, difficulty concentrating, or the overwhelming desire to retreat to a dark, quiet room until the symptoms pass.

This is one condition where I can genuinely relate to what many of my patients are going through.

I have personally dealt with chronic migraines for years. Unfortunately, migraines run in my family and are something I inherited. Even as a healthcare provider, I continue to learn more 
about my own triggers, work to reduce the frequency and severity of attacks, and look for new strategies to better manage them. Because of that experience, I understand firsthand how debilitating migraines can be and how frustrating it is when they interfere with work, family events, vacations, hobbies, and everyday life.

Not every headache is a migraine. Some people experience tension headaches that feel like a tight band around their head. Others notice headaches that begin in the neck and gradually move into the back of the head, temples, or behind the eyes. Many patients tell me they simply wake up with headaches and don't understand why they keep returning.
