Our Approach to Diagnosing and Treating Headaches

At Village Emergency Centers, we focus on quickly diagnosing the cause of your headache to offer effective relief. Our approach includes:

Imaging

CT scans or MRIs are used to rule out serious conditions such as brain bleeds, tumors, or infections.

Blood Tests

To check for underlying issues like infections or other systemic problems that may be contributing to your headache.

Medication

We provide appropriate medications for pain relief, anti-nausea, or preventive treatments for chronic headache sufferers.

Neurological Exams

In some cases, a detailed neurological exam is performed to assess brain function and ensure there is no lasting damage from head injuries.

By providing fast and accurate diagnosis, we help you get the care you need in a comfortable and supportive environment.

Headache following a head injury
Head pain with vision changes, weakness, confusion, or difficulty speaking

FAQs About Falls and Injury

The most common types of headaches include:
Tension headaches
Tension headaches result from tension in the muscles around the shoulder, neck, and head. They’re the most common and may cause headache pain to come and go.
Cluster headaches
Cluster headaches can feel like an intense burning or piercing pain behind your eye. The throbbing pain is consistent and often debilitating. Since they occur in groups, they’re called cluster headaches.
Migraines
Migraines produce severe throbbing, usually on one side of your head, that can last for hours or even days. These headaches are often accompanied by nausea, vision disturbances, and digestive troubles.
If your headache is the result of a trauma, it’s always best to seek prompt medical attention at Clear Creek Emergency Room.

There are over 150 different types of headaches, and the number of causes are as numerous. The most common headaches are triggered by factors that may include:
Stress
Stress is a common trigger that prompts your body to release certain chemicals that cause changes in your blood vessels, often leading to a headache.
Foods
Certain foods and beverages, like alcohol, can trigger headaches. In people who are sensitive to them, specific food additives, such as nitrates or monosodium glutamate (MSG) may bring on a headache.
Injury
If you’ve been involved in a collision or fall where your head took the brunt of the impact, a headache could be the sign of a concussion, and you should be evaluated right away.
Illness
Often, headaches are a symptom of another health condition, the most common being sinus headaches. These headaches are a result of a sinus infection, which creates a dull throbbing behind your cheeks and eyes. Allergies may also contribute to sinus headaches.

A few other examples of diseases or conditions that may cause a headache include:
– Glaucoma
– Brain tumor
– Dehydration
– Brain aneurysm
– Meningitis
– Carbon monoxide poisoning

“This emergency room is absolute AMAZING. Both my husband & I have been treated here & have had phenomenal experiences. They always treat you with love & respect. They run all of the tests that are needed, but they don’t add a bunch of unnecessary test. We all know that doctors are human, but sometimes I think some doctors forget that but not at Clear Creek Emergency Room. Dr. Luna, Dr. Cruz, and Rommel, RN are amazing!”
