At KOS Integrative in Honolulu, HI, we provide personalized care for different types of headaches, including migraines, tension headaches, cluster headaches, and chronic recurring headaches. Because each headache type can have different triggers and symptoms, proper evaluation is important before creating a treatment plan.
We help patients dealing with:
- Migraines: often associated with nausea, visual disturbances, dizziness, light sensitivity, sound sensitivity, or one-sided head pain.
- Tension headaches: commonly linked with stress, neck tension, posture issues, or muscle tightness around the head, neck, and shoulders.
- Cluster headaches: severe headaches that often occur in repeated cycles and may affect one side of the head or around the eye.
- Whiplash-related headaches: headaches that may develop after a car accident, fall, or sudden neck movement.
- Post-traumatic headaches: headaches that may appear after concussion, head injury, or mild traumatic brain injury.
- Chronic daily headaches: frequent headaches that interfere with work, sleep, focus, and daily activities.
What Causes Headaches?
Headache pain does not always come from the brain itself. Many headaches are connected to irritation, inflammation, tension, or dysfunction in surrounding tissues such as the neck muscles, facial muscles, sinuses, blood vessels, and connective tissues. At KOS Integrative, we focus on identifying potential triggers for your headaches rather than only masking the pain.
Common headache triggers may include:
- Stress and nervous system tension
- Poor sleep or fatigue
- Neck tension or poor posture
- Hormonal imbalances
- Food sensitivities or nutritional deficiencies
- Environmental toxicities
- Sinus pressure or inflammation
- Jaw tension or TMJ-related issues
- Previous concussion or whiplash injury
- Blood sugar imbalance or dehydration
- Light, sound, smell, or screen sensitivity

- Lifestyle and sleep recommendations
