Headache Pain Resources

Living with headache can be extremely challenging. We wish to help by sharing resources for you to review and work on independently or share with family and friends.  

For example: 

  • Use the headache diary to track headache patterns, triggers, and effectiveness of treatments.  
  • Read about what happens when you experience a concussion and how it may impact headache, mood, sleep, and ability to think clearly.  
  • Read about how lifestyle, diet, and exercise can impact your headache. 
  • Review our tip sheet for managing virtual appointments if screens or talking on the phone cause a flare of your headache.  

Click the link below for a complete list of our headache resources. If you have any questions about what you see on this website, be sure to ask a healthcare provider you trust for help.
