Migraine & Headache Conditions Treated by Specialists
We specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of migraine and complex headache disorders using evidence-based, non-surgical, and patient-specific treatment protocols.
Migraine
Recurring, disabling headaches with neurological symptoms
Migraine is a neurological condition marked by recurrent, moderate to severe headaches that may last for hours to days. It is often associated with nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light or sound, and visual disturbances.
Migraine attacks can be triggered by stress, sleep disturbances, hormonal changes, certain foods, or environmental factors. Proper diagnosis is essential, as migraine is frequently mistaken for sinus or tension headaches.
At our clinic, migraine management focuses on identifying triggers, reducing attack frequency, and preventing progression to chronic migraine.
Throbbing or pulsating head pain
Nausea, vomiting, light & sound sensitivity
Can last hours to days
Requires accurate diagnosis & preventive care
Chronic Daily Migraine
Headacheon most days of the month
Chronic migraine is diagnosed when headache occurs, with migraine features present on at least 8 days. Patients often report daily or near-daily headaches that significantly interfere with work and daily life.
Many individuals with chronic migraine develop medication overuse headache due to frequent painkiller intake. Without structured treatment, symptoms tend to worsen over time.
Our approach emphasizes long-term prevention strategies, medication optimization, and reducing dependence on acute pain relief drugs.
Headache Daily headache
Migraine features ≥ 8 days/month
Often linked to painkiller overuse
Needs long-term migraine management
Conditional Headache
Headache on most days of the month
Conditional headache, also known as chronic migraine, is diagnosed when headache occurs on 15 or more days per month, with migraine features present on at least 8 days. Patients often experience daily or near-daily head pain that significantly affects work, sleep, and quality of life.
This condition is commonly associated with overuse of painkillers, leading to medication overuse headache and worsening symptoms over time. Without proper medical guidance, headaches may become more frequent and difficult to control.
Our treatment approach focuses on accurate diagnosis, reducing dependency on pain medications, and implementing long-term preventive strategies to achieve sustained headache control and improved daily functioning.
Head pain on most days of the month
Migraine symptoms present frequently
Regular painkiller use worsens headache
Needs preventive, long-term treatment
Tension-Type Headache
Pressure-like pain caused by muscle tension
Tension-type headache is commonly described as a dull, tight, or pressure-like pain affecting both sides of the head. It may feel like a tight band around the forehead or scalp.
This condition is often associated with stress, poor posture, prolonged screen use, or muscle tension in the neck and shoulders. Although considered less severe than migraine, frequent tension headaches can become chronic if untreated.
Accurate evaluation is important, as tension-type headache may coexist with migraine and require different treatment strategies.
Tight band-like pain around the head
Linked to stress & poor posture
Usually bilateral
May coexist with migraine
Cervicogenic Headache
Headache originating from the neck
Cervicogenic headache originates from the cervical spine (neck) and surrounding structures such as joints, muscles, or nerves. Pain usually begins in the neck and radiates to the head, often on one side.
This type of headache is commonly triggered by poor posture, prolonged desk work, neck strain, or previous neck injury. Standard headache medications are often ineffective for cervicogenic headache.
Treatment focuses on identifying the neck-related cause and addressing it with targeted, non-surgical interventions.
Pain starts in the neck, spreads to head
Often one-sided
Triggered by posture or neck strain
Regular painkillers often ineffective
Medication Overuse Headache
Headache caused by frequent painkiller use
Medication overuse headache develops due to frequent or excessive use of pain-relief medications. Patients often experience daily headaches that temporarily improve with medication but quickly return.
This condition creates a cycle where increasing medication use leads to worsening headache frequency and severity. It is commonly seen in patients with long-standing migraine or chronic headache.
Management involves careful withdrawal planning, preventive therapy, and close medical supervision to break the cycle safely.
Daily or near-daily headache
Temporary relief with medicines
Worsens with continued drug use
Requires structured withdrawal & prevention
Neuralgic Headache
Facial pain commonly mistaken for sinus issues
Neurologic headaches often present as facial pressure or pain and are frequently misdiagnosed as sinus problems. Early recognition allows precise treatment, better pain control, and improved quality of life.
Pain around face & forehead
Not caused by sinus disease
Often misunderstood headache
Proper treatment gives long-term relief

Frequently Asked Questions About Migraine & Headache
Here are common questions patients ask when seeking specialized care for migraine and chronic headache conditions.
Didn’t find your question?
What types of headaches do you treat?
We specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of migraine, chronic daily headache, tension-type headache, cervicogenic headache, cluster headache, and medication overuse headache. Each condition is evaluated individually to ensure accurate diagnosis.
How is migraine different from regular headache?
Migraine is a neurological condition that often includes throbbing head pain, nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light or sound, and may last for hours to days. Unlike common headaches, migraine requires targeted medical management.
When should I see a migraine specialist?
You should consult a specialist if headaches are frequent, severe, worsening, affecting daily life, or if pain medications are no longer effective. Early specialist care helps prevent progression to chronic migraine.
Do you provide personalized migraine treatment plans?
Yes. Treatment plans are tailored based on headache type, triggers, frequency, severity, medical history, and response to previous treatments. Our goal is long-term headache control, not temporary relief.
Can migraine be treated without long-term painkillers?
Yes. We focus on preventive therapies, trigger management, lifestyle guidance, and evidence-based interventions to reduce dependence on pain medications and prevent medication overuse headache.
