Headache Menace

About this episode

Headaches…everyone gets a headache now and then. For some people, headaches occur if they don’t get their morning cup of coffee on time. For others, headaches are connected to life stressors. 

Headaches are very plentiful amongst numerous alignments, both physical and mental. Regardless of the cause, headaches are incredibly common and there are numerous kinds!

Today we are going to start by analyzing headaches. Then we’ll do a deep-drive into tension headaches, along with less-common types of headaches that we don’t really see in day-to-day clinical practice but are important for you to know about to give your patients the best quality of care.
