Chronic Tension Headache Treatment
Our New York pain management specialists offer a wide range of advanced treatments developed specifically for chronic tension-type headaches. Following a complete assessment of your physical health, symptoms, and pain type, the doctor will look into your medical history, carefully ruling out any potential contributing conditions using cutting-edge imaging tests and comprehensive blood work.
Drawing from a diverse range of innovative approaches, your pain doctor may recommend a personalized combination of treatments to address your chronic tension headaches effectively, including:
Over-the-counter pain relievers and prescription medications, or a tailored combination of both. Specialized triptans may also be prescribed for individuals suffering from a blend of chronic tension headaches and migraines.
Preventive medications are designed to alleviate chronic tension headaches, which may involve anticonvulsants, muscle relaxants, and various types of antidepressants. These medications may require some patience as they take time to become effective, but the specialist will guide you through the process.
Trigger point injections, which can be remarkably beneficial in relieving pain emanating from shoulder and neck muscles.
Emphasizing the importance of maintaining good posture, the specialist will teach you techniques to alleviate strain on the sensitive muscles of your neck, shoulders, and upper back.
Heat or cold therapy, depending on which method proves most effective for alleviating your pain.
Alternative medicine techniques, such as therapeutic massage or acupuncture, which have shown promising results in headache management.
Rest assured, New York Pain Care’s team of rehabilitation physicians, chiropractors, and interventional spine specialists is dedicated to tailoring a comprehensive and individualized treatment plan that targets your specific needs and helps you find lasting relief from chronic tension-type headaches at our pain clinic.
