What are Headaches?
Headaches can develop for many different reasons, and they don’t look the same for everyone. The location, duration, intensity, and triggers of the pain often vary depending on the type of condition involved.
At Core Medical Center, we take the time to understand the specific condition you’re experiencing so we can treat it effectively. The most common types we see are:
Tesnsion Headaches
Migraines
Cluster headaches
Since these types of discomfort affect people differently, getting the right diagnosis is key to effective treatment.
Schedule a personalized evaluation to better understand what’s behind your symptoms—and get care designed for long-term relief.

Sensitivity to light, smell, or sound
Nausea or dizziness
Blurred vision or eye strain
Neck tightness or cervical discomfort
Numbness or tingling in the arms or face
