Headaches & Facial Pains

From sports injuries to arthritis, knee pain can affect every step you take, but advanced treatments can help restore movement and comfort.

What are Headaches & Facial Pains?

While occasional headaches are common, chronic headaches and facial pain can be debilitating. They may stem from neurological, muscular, or vascular causes and often resist standard medications. In some cases, like trigeminal neuralgia, the pain is sudden, severe, and life-altering.

Types & Causes

Migraine
Intense, throbbing headache often with nausea or light sensitivity

Tension Headache

Steady, pressure-like pain linked to stress or posture

Cluster Headache
Severe, stabbing pain around one eye, recurring in cycles

Cervicogenic Headache

Headache originating from cervical spine issues

Trigeminal Neuralgia

Sudden, electric-shock pain in the face due to nerve irritation

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Pain

Pain in the jaw joint that radiates to face and head

Why Headaches & Facial Pains Persist?

Many patients rely on painkillers, which only suppress symptoms temporarily. Over time, this can lead to medication overuse headache (MOH), where the medicine itself causes a “rebound” pain cycle. Without specialized care, severe headache disorders and neuralgias can significantly impact daily life.
