Headaches

What are headaches and how are they treated

Headaches and migraines are one of the most common forms of pain in the head or base of the neck, with some people experiencing frequent episodes. Most headaches originate in the nerves, blood vessels, and muscles that surround the head, face, and neck. Common treatments for headaches can range from over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen to lifestyle changes such as drinking plenty of fluids, eating nutritious meals, and getting regular exercise. Depending on the cause and severity of the headache, additional treatments may include getting enough rest, avoiding loud noises, and applying cold or hot compresses to the affected area. Your healthcare provider may also recommend therapies such as relaxation, stress management, and cognitive-behavioral techniques.
