We all suffer at one time or another from Headaches. Some of us suffer from headaches on a daily basis. These headaches stop us from going to work, playing with our children and just enjoying life. These Headaches can be debilitating!

Many people take heavy doses of over the counter medication to prescription drugs and get little or no relief!

There are many forms of headaches. 90% of the Headaches are related to the following:

Tension Headaches - This is the most common form of headaches. It is related to the patient's physical and emotional stress level. The patient experiences moderate pain. Thesse headaches are related to the muscles that cover the skull. The symptoms include a dull ache moderate pain on both sides of the head. Many patients say it feels like a "tight rubber band around there head and many times located in the forehead region above the eyes. These symptoms can be very often depending on their stress level.

The symptoms are severe throbbing pain on one side of the head. Sensitivity to light, occasionally preceeded by an aura such as blurriness or flashes of light, nausea and possible vomiting.

Cluster - This is a very painful headache that occurs on one side of the head usually behind the eye. I have had patient's describe this pain as if a pitchfork was stabbing them in the eye. It is a chronic conditon that can occur for days, weeks or years. The symptoms are severe eye pain, tearing of the eye. Very common in men between the ages of 20-40.
