No, not all headaches are the same, and there is no "one size fits all" cure for all types of headaches.

Start by keeping a headache diary. If you know what your

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ or TM Joint) and the trigeminal nerves are some of the most important structures of the face. When the TMJ is out of alignment, it can negatively affect many other areas of the head and neck, partly because misalignment of the TM joint can cause interference with the trigeminal nerve.What is the Trigeminal Nerve?Trigeminal neuralgia (inflammation of the trigeminal

Headaches can be a red flag that your body sends up to let you know there is a problem. But how can a doctor tell what that flag means?The first thing a doctor does to properly diagnose and treat a headache is to take a patient history. He or she will focus on the frequency and duration of your headache, when it occurs, how painful it is, what may have triggered it and if there were any other

When it comes to blood pressure and headaches, there is an ongoing debate as to which is the real culprit: do spikes or drops in blood pressure cause headaches, or can headache pain, especially when due to an underlying condition, cause one’s blood pressure to fluctuate at dangerous levels?
