Specializes in Pain Management

Find the cause !: The question that need to be answered is why do you have the headache. Is it inside of your head or is it on the outside of your head? Is the surface of your head tender to pressure. If yes you have muscle tension tenderness. If you can not find a tender area on the surface of your head the pain is inside your head. The treatments are different.
