Living with head pain can significantly impact your daily life, productivity, and overall well-being. At Theramedic, we’re committed to helping you understand, manage, and overcome various types of head pain through comprehensive care and evidence-based treatments tailored to your needs.
Head pain comes in various forms, each with unique characteristics and treatment approaches. Common types include:
These present as a constant, dull pressure around your head, often described as wearing a tight band. Tension headaches are the most common type, affecting up to 80% of adults.
More than just a headache, migraines often involve intense throbbing pain, typically on one side of the head. They can be accompanied by sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and visual disturbances called auras.
Characterized by severe, burning pain usually centered around one eye, cluster headaches occur in cyclical patterns or clusters. Though less common, they’re often described as the most painful type of headache.
These headaches originate from neck problems, often due to poor posture or injury. The pain typically starts in the neck and radiates to the head.
Head pain often stems from physical strain like muscle tension, posture issues, or dehydration, commonly linked to daily habits and work setups.
Everyday factors like stress, sleep disruption, diet, and environmental sensitivity can quietly contribute to recurring head pain.
Underlying health issues such as high blood pressure, TMJ disorders, or neurological conditions may also play a major role in persistent head pain.
Our specialists employ a comprehensive evaluation process to identify the root cause of your head pain:
Because your pain is personal, and so is our care. At Theramedic, every treatment is built around your needs, goals, and real-life recovery.
We don’t guess. We evaluate thoroughly to find and fix the source.
One-size-fits-all isn’t in our vocabulary.
Physical therapy meets medical strategy for deeper, lasting relief.
Advanced diagnostics to back every clinical decision.
If head pain is just one part of what you’re feeling, we’ve got you covered. Explore other pain areas we treat and find targeted support for every part of your recovery journey.
Everything you need to know about how our head pain therapy is designed around your recovery goals—because relief should be as personal as your pain.
Seek evaluation if your head pain is frequent, worsening, accompanied by dizziness, nausea, vision changes, or if it disrupts daily life.
Very likely. Tension in the neck, upper back, or jaw, often from prolonged sitting or incorrect posture, can refer pain to the head. A physical assessment can identify the root cause.
Relief timelines vary depending on the cause and severity of pain, but many patients notice improvement within a few sessions with consistent therapy.
In most cases, no referral is needed. You can book an evaluation directly with us to begin your care plan.
Coverage varies based on your insurance plan and provider. Many plans do cover physical therapy for head pain if it’s medically necessary. Our team can help verify your benefits and guide you through the process before you begin treatment.
