If you experience frequent headaches, or abnormal feeling headaches, it is important to receive a proper diagnosis and determine if something else is going on. Headaches occur in different frequencies, which is why individually tailored treatments are key to providing optimal care.
Depending on what type of headache you are experiencing—or have been experiencing—we will create an appropriate treatment plan. Receiving an accurate diagnosis of frequent or recurring headaches will help us to determine how to help you find relief when your symptoms occur or how to help you prevent them from occurring in the first place.
