Read MoreHeadaches are one of the most common reasons people seek medical care. Whether you’re dealing with tension headaches, migraines, sinus pressure, or unexplained head pain, persistent headaches can seriously disrupt your daily life. At InMotion Health, we bring convenient, same-day care to your door, helping you find fast relief without the wait, hassle, or exposure of a traditional clinic visit.
What Are Headaches?
Headaches are characterized by pain or discomfort in the head, scalp, or neck. They can be mild and occasional or severe and chronic and may occur as a primary condition or as a symptom of another underlying issue. While most headaches are not life-threatening, they can still cause significant discomfort and interfere with work, rest, and quality of life.
How Are Headaches Treated?
At InMotion Health, headache treatment begins with a virtual or in-home consultation; our provider will take a detailed history of your symptoms, including the onset, location, intensity, and any associated factors. If necessary, we can perform in-home diagnostic evaluations and coordinate lab work through our trusted partners if needed.
Based on your assessment, your personalized treatment plan may include over-the-counter or prescription pain relievers, anti-nausea medications for migraine management, anti-inflammatory or muscle relaxant medications. Beyond medications, we may also recommend hydration strategies for headaches related to dehydration or heat, referral for imaging or specialist care if red flags are present, and lifestyle recommendations or stress management techniques.
Headache Symptoms
Headache symptoms can vary widely, but common signs include:
- Dull, aching pain or sharp, throbbing discomfort
- Pain on one or both sides of the head
- Pressure behind the eyes or around the temples
- Sensitivity to light or sound
- Nausea or vomiting (especially with migraines)
- Neck stiffness or tension
It’s important to seek care if your headache is severe, comes on suddenly, or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms like confusion, fever, vision changes, or difficulty speaking.
What Causes Headaches?
Headaches can result from a range of factors, including:
- Stress or muscle tension
- Dehydration or skipping meals
- Lack of sleep or poor posture
- Sinus infections or colds
- Eye strain or screen overuse
- Hormonal changes
- Certain foods, drinks, or medications
Why Is Headache Treatment Important?
While many headaches are benign, recurring or severe headaches can interfere with your ability to work, sleep, or function comfortably. Timely medical care can provide fast symptom relief, identify underlying causes or triggers, rule out more serious conditions, prevent progression to chronic daily headaches, and improve your overall well-being. Getting evaluated early can also help you avoid overusing medications, which may actually worsen headaches over time.
How Can I Prevent Future Headaches?
Prevention starts with understanding your personal headache triggers and adopting healthy habits. We recommend staying hydrated and eating regular meals, maintaining good posture and taking screen breaks, managing stress with relaxation techniques, getting adequate and consistent sleep, and avoiding known food or environmental triggers. Our providers can work with you to develop a customized prevention plan that fits your lifestyle and medical history.

When in Doubt
If you or someone else is experiencing severe or life-threatening symptoms and you’re unsure whether it’s an emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest Emergency Room. It’s always safer to seek immediate care rather than delay treatment.
