Understanding Migraine & Headache Disorders
Headache disorders are neurological conditions that cause recurrent pain in the head, scalp, or neck region. Migraines, in particular, are a chronic neurological disorder involving abnormal brain activity that affects nerve signaling, blood vessels, and pain pathways.
Migraine attacks may last from a few hours to several days and often recur if not managed properly. Headache disorders can affect people of all age groups and may worsen over time without appropriate treatment.
Types of Headache Disorders
Dr. Himanshu Shakya provides expert care for a wide range of headache disorders, including:
Migraine Headache – Severe throbbing pain, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light or sound
Chronic Migraine – Migraine occurring on 15 or more days per month
