Tension Headaches Treatment in Mountain View

woman is having head painIf you suffer from tension headaches and are seeking effective treatment and pain relief, trust our head pain therapy specialists at Allied Pain & Spine Institute in Mountain View. There’s nothing like a tension headache to stop you in your tracks. Even if you have a busy life with many commitments and responsibilities, a tension headache has the power to put all of that on the back burner as it calls for your undivided attention with head pain.

Causes

As is the case with many other symptoms and medical conditions, the causes of tension headaches can be many and varied. As the name implies, the cause can be anything related to tension and stress. This can include overexertion, such as too much work and not enough rest, emotional irritation, lack of sleep, and muscle tension in the upper body area, such as the neck.

Symptoms

head painSymptoms of tension headaches include tension- or pressure-filled pain that is aching and throbbing in any one area of the head, such as the back of the head near the neck, or throughout the entire head. Dizziness, weakness, and fatigue can be other symptoms. Headache symptoms can vary from person to person and within the same person from one headache to the other.

Headache symptoms can occur with any frequency, whether that’s weekly, monthly, or only occasionally. Some people rarely experience tension headache symptoms or may experience them at some times of their lives and not others. Headaches may be more frequent and severe when a person is going through a time of intense stress.

Treatments

Although tension headaches can be anything from a minor nuisance to an all-out diversion from your usual routine, there is much you can do about them. There are some valuable and effective treatments that you need to know about. A focus on nutritional wellness can help. This includes eating nutritious, homemade, and whole foods, including plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, while avoiding all sorts of additives and toxins, such as artificial colors and flavors, preservatives, sugar, and processed foods.

Another valuable treatment for any type of pain, including headaches, is acupuncture. This therapy that’s based in Chinese medicine and works by balancing the body’s energy system involves placing thin, sterile needles on various key points of the body. Chiropractic treatments can also help tremendously with tension headaches as they balance the body’s entire musculoskeletal system.

If you suffer from frequent tension headaches, contact Allied Pain & Spine Institute in Mountain View today to schedule a consultation to receive the relief you need.

Allied Pain & Spine Institute

I fly in to see Dr. Petros from Southern California.  I wouldn't do so if he wasn't the best there is.  He is compassionate and has always treated me kindly. I can tell he is sincere in the way he talks to me and is diligently looking for solutions that work best with me and my chronic pain needs.  Very out of the box approach, which I appreciate these days!  I would truly recommend Dr. Petros to anyone looking for a Dr. that not only cares about you as a patient but has the confidence and skill set to get results! His office staff is friendly and caring too.  Allied Pain and Spine Institute is the Gold Standard in pain care in my humble opinion!! When I find a doctor that understands the issue and always goes above and beyond to help me, I do what I can to continue seeing them. I am so glad I found this office!!

Dr Petros is amazing!  When he uses a needle his aim is "right on".  He is also very personable, an altogether great guy.  I always find my visits to him to be very informative. I have had both sides of my degenerated back injected (epidural shots) with complete success.  He allows me to have no sedative, which is cool because his jokes and stories in the operating room are really good.  He greatly enjoys his work, and enjoys the difficult challenges of getting a needle into the right place in my back.  My arthritic knee is perhaps more straight-forward, but other doctors have failed to give me pain relief.  Dr Petros studies the structure with ultrasound before injecting it.  The result - instant relief! On my recent visit for a broken back (ski accident) the doctor and staff were very accommodating to help me make a dinner engagement shortly after my appointment.  This is definitely a five-star operation!

Wow, wonderful doctor!!! I avoid all the doctors like the plague...seriously it makes my blood pressure go up when I have to go but I chose Dr. Vaidya. My friend referred him to me, he's simply the best... TOP NOTCH!!! He turned out to be a breath of fresh air. Dr. Vaidya really stands out head and shoulders above everyone else. I usually don't write reviews but he's so outstanding that I really wanted to do it for him. He's the most honest and caring doctor I have met.  He listens and gives you full attention and committed to find the best individual solution for you. He always goes out of his way to get you the most appropriate treatment and he will make it happen. He's very knowledgeable in his field. He's very professional, friendly, personable and definitely easy to talk to. His integrity is very valuable. He's one of the sharpest and most driven individuals you will ever meet.

Simply the best doctors and staff in the area. I've fought back and neck pain for over 30 years, and Dr. Petros and his team have kept me from the operating table and able to enjoy my life. I've had injections, acupuncture, as well as back braces. He listens to my concerns, cares very deeply for my pain and discomfort, and has successfully treated everything from stenosis, pinched nerves, herniated disks, and even helped me with the symptoms from shingles and lung disease. I couldn't be happier with the care he has given me over the years.

Dr. Vaidya has changed my life. I am in my late 20s with chronic pain and nothing had worked until I came here. All services here are wonderful and the staff is absolutely amazing. I can't recommend enough!!

Tracy B.

I have been a patient of Dr. Vaidya for a few years after not getting what I needed from other spine and pain doctors. I was looking for a doctor who would think outside the box and come up with some other ways to treat my growing amount of pain. Between Dr. Petros and Dr. Vaidya, they have brought me to a place where my pain is better managed. And let's just talk about bedside manners! I have never met doctors in the past 23 years of this back journey of mine that has as amazing bedside manners as these guys. I have cried and laughed with the team at Allied Spine. The way that I am always greeted and promptly cared for is bar none! The front office staff, and especially Nas, has been a God sent. I would never go anywhere else.

Justin P.

I am a new patient of DR Petros and my experience was great for my first two visits so far. He really takes time to listen to your issues and provides thorough answers and treatment options. The front desk staff are all very nice and respond in a timely manner to requests. Highly recommended all around!

I have seen Dr. Vaidya for about 2 years. He is an amazing doctor.the attention and care you receive is well over 5 stars. He knows who I am by my face, he knows my health history with out looking in my chart, he remembers conversations we have had at previous appointments. He truly cares for his patients. I will be moving our of state, and will travel back here each month to see doctor Vaidya. I lost my insurance over a year ago and pay out of pocket to see the doctor, it is worth every penny to be treated with respect, as a person and with care. I love all the staff and feel like I am visiting family when I come in for my appointments.
