Headache care in primary care
Most headaches are tension-type or migraine, and both are treated well in primary care. Tension headaches feel like a tight band and respond to stress, sleep and posture changes plus simple pain relievers. Migraine is a throbbing, often one-sided headache with nausea or light sensitivity that can last hours to days and needs a specific plan.
At Voss Family Clinic, your provider takes a detailed headache history, performs a neurological exam to rule out serious causes, reviews triggers and medicines (including overuse of pain relievers, a common cause of daily headache), and builds a two-part plan: stop the attack, and prevent the next one.
- Headache history and neurological exam
- Trigger and medication review, including caffeine and pain reliever overuse
- Acute medicines (NSAIDs, triptans and others) and preventive medicines when attacks are frequent
- Imaging or neurology referral when warning signs are present

Tension headache, migraine or sinus headache?
Three common types and how they differ.
| Tension-type | Migraine | Sinus | |

| Comes with | Neck and shoulder tightness | Nausea, light and sound sensitivity, sometimes aura | Congestion, thick drainage, worse bending forward |
| Treatment | Simple pain relievers, stress and sleep habits, posture | Triptans or NSAIDs early; preventives when frequent | Treat the sinus problem; saline, nasal steroid, antibiotics if bacterial |

Stopping attacks and preventing them
Migraine responds best when acute medicine is taken early in the attack, and when triggers are managed consistently: regular sleep, regular meals, hydration, limited alcohol and steady caffeine. If you have four or more headache days a month, a daily preventive medicine can cut attacks by half or more; several classes are available and your provider will choose based on your other conditions.
Keep a headache diary
- Date, start and end time, and severity
- What you ate, slept and drank beforehand
- Menstrual timing for women
- Medicines taken and whether they worked
Avoiding medication-overuse headache
Using pain relievers (including over-the-counter ones) more than 2 to 3 days a week can cause daily headaches. If that sounds familiar, do not stop abruptly; your provider will plan a reset and start a preventive.
Insurance and cost
Voss Family Clinic accepts most major insurance plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Ambetter, Medicare and Medicare-Medicaid dual plans. What you pay for headache visits (coverage for newer migraine medicines varies by plan) depends on your plan’s copay and deductible, and on whether tests are ordered.
