Headaches Migraines Treatment in Laconia

What are Headaches and Migraines?

Headaches are a common condition characterized by pain or discomfort in the head, neck, or upper shoulders. They can range from mild tension headaches to severe migraines.

Migraines are a specific type of headache often accompanied by additional symptoms such as nausea, light sensitivity, and visual disturbances. Migraines are thought to result from changes in brain activity affecting nerves, blood vessels, and chemicals in the brain.
