Migraine vs. Tension Headache

Sometimes I wonder if people know the difference between a migraine headache and a tension headache. Out of the thousands of people that have called our clinic with "migraines" I do not think so. They think because they have a really bad headache it is a migraine. But that isn't true. Migraines are vascular headaches. True they hurt really really bad, but so do tension headaches.

Tension headaches can mimic migraines or even trigger migraines. Most people we encounter have a mixture of headaches. Meaning, one is causing another. Can we help? We sure can, but first must figure out which is causing which headache. Diagnosis is key. If your medications are not working then it is time to seek a second opinion. Does this mean your doctor doesn't know what they are doing? No, it certainly does not. They might just be overlooking something.


Need a second opinion? Call The Omaha Headache Clinic at 402-933-5392
We are located at 184th & Center, in West Omaha

It makes me smile every time a new "headacher" comes into the office and within a couple weeks we are able to get them pain free.
Many of these people cannot remember when the last time is that they didn't have a headache. Can you remember the last time you didn't have one?

If you cannot, then call the Omaha Headache Clinic today. 402-933-5392

The Omaha Headache is excited to announce they are starting a four part "Headache Workshop" series. During these 4 workshops suffers will learn factual and effective tips and tricks to help with their headaches. Since most headaches are multi-faceted, we have tailored our workshops as such. Each workshop will cover something different and each person will have an opportunity to "talk with the doc".

Being a headache sufferer herself, Dr. Johnson is passionate about helping people suffering from headaches without the use of medications that just mask symptoms (although she understands medications are sometimes unavoidable). Dr. Johnson has been on every cocktail of medications available for over 20 years. She finally was able to get rid of her headaches with specialized rehabilitation (without harmful and draining medications) which she now utilizes. She been headache free since 2002!

If you are interested in becoming headache-free attend our workshop series. We charge $25 for this entire series.
