Cervicogenic Headaches<\/h6><\/span><\/div>

Tension-type headaches<\/h6><\/span><\/div>

Often stemming from stress, poor posture, or eye strain, these headaches are characterized by a dull, aching pain, often described as a tight band around the head.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Migraines<\/h6><\/span><\/div>

Triggered by factors such as hormonal changes, certain foods, or lack of sleep, migraines present with intense, throbbing pain, often accompanied by nausea and sensitivity to light and sound.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Cluster headaches<\/h6><\/span><\/div>

These severe, recurring headaches typically affect one side of the head and may be related to abnormalities in the body’s biological clock or changes in blood flow.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
