What Are Headaches?

Headaches are common but can range from mild discomfort to sharp, debilitating pain. They can occur in various forms, including tension headaches, migraines, or cervicogenic headaches, and may be triggered by stress, poor posture, or injury.

Without proper treatment, headaches can become chronic and harder to manage. At Compass Medical Center, we focus on solutions that address the symptoms and treat the root causes, aiming for long-term improvement and relief.
