Which Headache Type Do I Have?
Most clinic headaches fall into three buckets: tension, cervicogenic, or migraine. Below are quick clues—not a full diagnosis.
Quick clues
| Type | Common feel | Triggers |
|---|---|---|
| Tension | Band-like tightness both sides | Stress, long sitting, tight shoulders |
| Cervicogenic | Starts at back of neck → head | Forward head posture, neck stiffness |
| Migraine | Throbbing, often one-sided, may include aura | Certain foods, hormones, lack of sleep, stress |
See a doctor if: new severe headache, vision changes, fever, weakness, or sudden onset. These need immediate evaluation.
