Head & Face Pain
Treatment for head and face pain
Suffering occasional headaches and facial pain is common for most individuals. But when it becomes a constant issue in your day-to-day life, it’s time to seek help.
While mild head pain is common, mild to severe instances of craniofacial pain is not. Often these symptoms are described as ‘relentless’ by sufferers and can take the form of protracted headaches, facial or eye pain, neck stiffness and shoulder aches. And while seeking help for these is up to the patient, it is always worth consulting a professional to rule out other underlying conditions and understand your head & face pain diagnosis.
Some common issues include:
- Atypical facial pain
- Cervical pain
- Facial neuropathic pain
- Headaches
- Migraines
- Occipital neuralgia
- Temporomandibular joint pain
- Trigeminal neuralgia
