Headaches: Most family docs are able to take care of occasional and chronic headaches and migraines. They also can let you know if the headaches require imaging, or if you need to go see a neurologist. There are really great, safe, non-addicting medications for migraines called triptans that can take a migraine away in as fast as 20 minutes.
