Different types of headaches 

TENSION HEADACHE 

Tension-type headache (or simply tension headache) is the most common type of primary headache and is widely prevalent in the general population. It ranges from mild to fairly disabling, with significant socioeconomic impact.

Although tension headaches—as the name suggests–are frequently triggered or aggravated by stress, they can also stem from poor nutrition, fatigue, insufficient sleep, temporomandibular joint dysfunction, alcohol use, hormonal fluctuations, and weather changes.

CERVICOGENIC HEADACHE

The pain of cervicogenic headache is usually unilateral; it originates in the neck and then spreads to the oculofrontal-temporal areas of the head. The headache initially presents as intermittent episodes and then progresses to an almost continuous pain. Pain may be triggered or exacerbated by neck movement or a particular neck position; it can also be triggered by applying pressure over the ipsilateral upper part of the back of the neck or the ipsilateral occipital region.

MIGRAINE

These headaches are intense or severe and often have other symptoms in addition to head pain. Symptoms associated with a migraine include:

Nausea, pain behind one eye or ear, pain in the temples, seeings spots or flashing lights, sensitivity to light and/or sound, temporary vision loss, vomiting

When compared with tension or other headache types, migraine headache pain can be moderate to severe. Some people may experience headaches so severe they seek care at an emergency room. Migraine headaches will typically affect only one side of the head. However, it is possible to have a migraine headache that affects both sides of the head. Other differences include the pain’s quality: A migraine headache will cause intense pain that may be throbbing and will make performing daily tasks very difficult.

Your physiotherapy evaluation will help determine what your treatment will entail.
