Dr. Paul Grin answered

Specializes in Pain Management

See HA specialist: When evaluating a patient's headache, it is imperative that the clinician first identify and exclude a secondary headache based on history and clinical examination before proceeding to the diagnosis of the specific primary headache. See Orofacial Pain or headache specialist for definitive diagnosis and treatment.
