Post-Concussion Headache

Persistent headache, light sensitivity, dizziness, sleep disruption, and cognitive fatigue after concussion are common—and often treatable with a structured headache-focused plan.

What we evaluate

Many patients develop migraine-like physiology after concussion, including sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, motion sensitivity, and a lowered threshold for flares. We assess symptom patterns and recovery barriers and build a plan that fits your work and life demands.

Headache phenotype

We clarify whether symptoms fit migraine, tension-type headache, cervicogenic contributors, or mixed patterns.

Recovery barriers

Sleep disruption, stress physiology, vestibular symptoms, medication overuse, and other factors that perpetuate symptoms.

Practical plan

A rescue strategy plus prevention options—paired with pacing and lifestyle threshold factors when relevant.

Important safety note

If there are urgent symptoms after head injury (worsening confusion, severe or rapidly escalating headache, weakness, seizure, repeated vomiting, or other emergency signs), seek emergency care.
