Treatment for Migraines in Milpitas
ALLEVIATING TENSION HEADACHES
While many of us get occasional headaches that are of no dire importance, the causes of headaches and migraines vary, and some instances may even call for immediate medical attention. As a rule of thumb, medical attention should be sought out when new, unusual symptoms are emerging, or if the migraine does not go away with pain relievers or progressively worsens. You understand your own body the most and can suspect if your pain may be a result of something medically serious.
