Common Causes of Pediatric Headaches

Headaches have all sorts of potential causes. Tension headaches often result from stress, fatigue, or poor posture, while migraines may involve sensitivity to light, sound, or certain foods. Other contributing factors can include dehydration, vision problems, sinus issues, or chronic medical conditions. Recognizing the pattern and triggers of headaches is essential to developing a personalized treatment plan.

Comprehensive Headache Evaluation

When your child experiences recurrent or severe headaches, our pediatric team conducts a thorough evaluation that includes medical history, physical examination, and when appropriate, additional testing to rule out more serious conditions.
