Overview: Migraine / Headache
Headache – which involves a pain primarily centered in the head – is profoundly common. While Primary Care and Emergency Medicine providers often seen people who suffer from headache, the Neurologist is truly the best expert in this matter. The majority of headaches are primary headaches – suggesting that they have no underlying worrisome cause. However, it is often the fear of an undiagnosed worrisome cause – a secondary headache – that distresses patients. In this way, the Neurologist can offer expertise in both treating the headache and addressing this worry.
