Thanks for asking!: There are many, many different types of headaches, but many different types are referred to as 'migraine' headaches. The key to proper headache treatment is a proper diagnosis of the specific type of headache. Most migraine headaches can be adequately controlled with medication and diet intervention without the need for surgical procedures.
