Headache and Facial Pain
Headache and facial pain are common conditions affecting a significant portion of the population. Headaches, which can range from mild discomfort to debilitating pain, are categorized into different types including tension headaches, migraines, and cluster headaches. Facial pain can result from various conditions such as trigeminal neuralgia, sinusitis, and temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ).
Musculoskeletal issues can playa significant role in headaches and facial pain which needs proper management.
Effective management involves a comprehensive approach that may include medication, physical therapy, lifestyle changes, and, in some cases, interventional procedures.
In some cases, headache or facial pain can be a symptom of a serious medical condition and requires urgent medical assessment. If you experience sudden, severe, or persistent pain, seek immediate medical attention.
