Headache conditions we treat.

Headaches have many sources. These are the conditions we diagnose and treat most often.

  • Migraines

    Intense, often throbbing pain with sensitivity to light and sound, and sometimes nausea.

  • Tension & Stress Headaches

    The most common type: dull, band-like tightness across the forehead, temples, or back of the head and neck.

  • Cluster Headaches

    Extremely painful headaches in cyclical patterns, often waking you in the middle of the night.

  • Cervicogenic Headaches

    Pain referred from the neck, often from cervical spine disorders or soft tissue injuries.

  • Occipital Neuralgia

    Piercing, electric-shock-like pain in the upper neck, back of the head, and behind the ears.

  • Medication Overuse Headaches

    Headaches that develop from frequent use of headache medication, creating a cycle of more frequent pain.

Why headaches shouldn't be ignored.

Headaches, especially those linked to neck pain or irritated nerves, tend to get harder to treat the longer they are ignored.

  • Persistent, worsening pain. Headaches that grow more frequent or intense often signal an underlying issue that needs evaluation.
  • A shrinking quality of life. Chronic headaches affect concentration, sleep, and mood, touching work, family time, and everyday enjoyment.
  • A cycle of medication reliance. Frequent pain-reliever use can itself trigger more headaches, a pattern known as medication overuse headache.

I came in for migraines and the doctor used a procedure that helped me greatly. I haven’t had this relieve in so many years so I want to thank Dr Menon and the staff!

Headache questions, answered.

Still unsure? Call us and a person will answer.

What Treatments Help Chronic Headaches and Migraines?
Occipital nerve blocks for nerve-related pain, trigger point injections for muscle tension, facet joint injections for neck-driven headaches, and radiofrequency ablation for longer-lasting relief, chosen based on what is driving your headaches.
Does Insurance Cover Headache and Migraine Treatment?
Coverage varies by plan and procedure. Many injection-based treatments are covered when medically necessary. Medicare is accepted directly. For all other insurers, our team provides free benefits verification before your visit. We verify first on our insurance verification page.
How Long Does Relief From Headache Injections Last?
It varies by treatment and person. Nerve blocks and trigger point injections may bring weeks to months of relief; radiofrequency ablation can calm nerve-related headaches for 6-12 months or longer for many patients.
Can Treatment Reduce My Need for Daily Headache Medication?
For many patients, treating the source of headaches, not just the pain, may reduce how often medication is needed, which can also help avoid the rebound cycle of medication overuse headache. Results vary.
What Causes Headaches at the Back of the Head or Neck?
Pain at the back of the head or neck often points to occipital neuralgia or cervicogenic headaches, caused by irritated nerves or referred pain from the cervical spine. Persistent cases deserve evaluation.
What Is the Best Treatment for Stress and Tension Headaches?
Tension headaches, often called stress headaches, may respond to trigger point injections that release tight neck and scalp muscles, alongside trigger management. Many patients report fewer, milder headaches with a combined approach.
