Headache & Migraine Relief in Overland Park

Headaches are one of the most common health complaints, affecting millions of people daily. While occasional headaches are normal, chronic or severe headaches can significantly impact your quality of life, productivity, and overall well-being. The most common types we treat include tension headaches, cervicogenic headaches (originating from the neck), and migraines.

Tension headaches typically cause a dull, aching sensation around the head, often described as a tight band around the forehead. They're frequently caused by muscle tension in the neck and shoulders, poor posture, stress, and eye strain. Cervicogenic headaches originate from problems in the cervical spine (neck) and often present as one-sided head pain that may radiate from the back of the head to the forehead.

Migraines are more severe and can cause intense throbbing pain, usually on one side of the head, along with nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and visual disturbances (aura). While the exact cause of migraines isn't fully understood, triggers can include hormonal changes, certain foods, stress, sleep disturbances, and spinal misalignments.
