Head Pain

Head pain, including tension headaches, migraines, and cluster headaches, can range from mild discomfort to debilitating episodes that disrupt daily life. Chronic headaches may result from stress, poor posture, dehydration, eye strain, hormonal changes, or underlying conditions such as cervical spine problems, sinus issues, or nerve irritation. At Eshna Pain & Palliative Centre, we conduct a detailed evaluation to identify the type and root cause of your headache, distinguishing between primary headache disorders and pain referred from the neck or jaw. Our treatment approach combines medication management, trigger point injections, nerve blocks for occipital neuralgia and migraines, and physiotherapy to address postural or muscular contributors. We also provide guidance on lifestyle modifications, stress management, sleep hygiene, and dietary triggers to reduce the frequency and severity of headaches. For patients with chronic or treatment-resistant headaches, we offer advanced interventional options that target specific pain pathways. Our goal is to help you achieve lasting relief, reduce dependence on painkillers, and improve your overall quality of life through a personalised, multidisciplinary approach to head pain management.
