Tension headaches can be treated

Tension headaches are so common that many consider them normal. But when they start to affect your work, sleep, and daily life, it is time to take them seriously, and fortunately, there is effective help available.

Tension headaches can have many causes, such as muscle tension in the neck and shoulders, irregular sleep patterns, stress, screen habits, or a combination. At Hemi, we map out exactly what is driving your headaches and tailor a treatment plan accordingly.

We provide an accurate diagnosis, distinguish between episodic and chronic tension headaches, and ensure you aren't developing medication-overuse headaches without knowing it.

We ensure that your specialist knows your situation before you meet, so you don't have to spend the consultation explaining everything from scratch.

Kind words from our clients

Patient experiences speak louder than words – here they share their stories.

“In three months, Hemi did more for me than my neurologist, hospital, GP, and countless other practitioners had done in 10 years. I got medication that worked, could ask all my questions without any issues, and gained knowledge about my situation. I wish I had contacted them long ago. Highly recommended.”

"I have suffered from migraines since I was young, and over the years, they have increased in intensity and frequency. For many years, I felt like a guinea pig for various treatments. What has been meaningful for me is meeting neurologists and nurses who are experts in migraines and can therefore target the treatment."

"In just a few months, my quality of life has improved significantly. Through my conversations with the headache nurse, I have become much more aware of my own thought patterns and the fear I have of the next migraine attack."

"Tension headaches are the type of headache most people are familiar with, yet the one fewest seek help for – even when they become so frequent that they start to impact quality of life. Many think it's just something they have to live with. But chronic tension headaches are a condition that can often be treated, and for the vast majority, there is actually a lot to be gained with the right approach."

What is the difference between a tension headache and a migraine?

When should I seek help?

If your headaches affect your work, sleep, or quality of life, or if they occur frequently, it may be worth having them evaluated.
