Virtually everyone experiences headaches at one point or another, but some suffer from frequent and painful headaches that are difficult to bear. Headache is classified into two categories: primary headaches which are stand-alone symptoms caused by structures in the head that are pain-sensitive such as blood vessels, muscles, and nerves of the head and neck, and secondary headache that is caused by other conditions such as brain tumor and alcohol hang-over. We at Bergen Pain & Rehab treat only the primary headache. The primary headaches can be classified into several categories:

Tension headaches

These headaches are the most common and are caused by the tightening of muscles that are attached to the skull. You might feel a sensation of a muscle band tightening around your head or a dull, constant ache on both sides of your head that spreads to or from your neck.

Migraine headaches

Migraine headache creates a throbbing, pulsating pain on one side of your head, and might also cause nausea, blurry vision, lightheadedness, and sensitivity to light and sound. Migraines are extremely painful and often debilitating.

Cluster headaches

Cluster headaches tend to occur in groups. The pain is severe and occurs only on one side of your head. It may be located near one eye and can be sharp or burning.
