Many : Many primary care providers can diagnose and treat headaches including migraine. When migraine becomes frequent (more than two days of headache a month) or difficult to treat, a consultation by a neurologist with experience and / or special training in headache disorders may be a good idea. Keep in mind that it can take weeks or months to get an appointment with a specialist. You can find migraine specialists in your area by referring to online resources such as: http://www.Migraines.Org/help/helpclin.Htm while you wait for your appointment, it may be a good time to prepare by keeping a diary of your symptoms and how you treat them. More information about migraine and other headaches is available at: http://www.Achenet.Org.

Depends: It depends on why you are having migraines. If they are caused by clenching/grinding your teeth, you need a dentist and no meds. If it is due to nerve issues, you need a neurologist and meds. Stress/psychological issues, a psychiatrist and other meds. There are many possibilities. You may need multiple doctors if there are multiple causes. Best bet is to see your physician for guidance.
