Migraines
What are Migraines?
Migraines are not just headaches — they’re a neurological condition that causes severe, throbbing pain, often on one side of the head. They may also cause nausea, light or sound sensitivity, and visual changes such as flashing lights or blurred vision.
Attacks can last for several hours or days, and symptoms vary from person to person. Some people experience warning signs, called “auras,” before the pain begins.
Why it matters
Migraines can have a major impact on daily living — limiting productivity, interrupting sleep, and affecting emotional well-being. Chronic or untreated migraines may also increase the risk of anxiety, depression, and other health issues.
Early diagnosis and consistent management are key to minimizing the frequency and severity of attacks. Our goal is to help patients regain control of their routines, reduce discomfort, and prevent migraines from interfering with daily activities.
Triggers
Migraines can be triggered by a variety of factors, including:
- Stress or emotional changes
- Hormonal shifts
- Certain foods or caffeine changes
- Lack of sleep or dehydration
- Bright lights or weather changes
Recognizing your personal triggers is key to prevention. Our providers work with you to identify patterns and recommend lifestyle changes or treatments that keep migraines under control.
Symptoms
- One-sided head pain
- Nausea or vomiting
- Visual disturbances (“aura”)
- Sensitivity to light, sound, or smell

What is Urgent Care?
Urgent care bridges the gap between primary care and the emergency room. It’s designed for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries that require immediate attention — faster than waiting for a regular appointment, and without the high costs of the ER.
At our clinic, urgent care means same-day access to medical providers, on-site testing, and fast treatment so you can get relief and return to your daily life.
Our urgent care services cover a wide range of common medical needs, including:
- Cold, flu, and COVID-19 testing and treatment
- Sore throats, strep, and sinus infections
- Cough, bronchitis, and RSV evaluation
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Ear infections and eye conditions (including pink eye)
- Minor cuts, burns, and skin infections
- Muscle strains, sprains, and minor injuries
- Headaches and migraines
- Nausea, vomiting, and stomach issues
- Same-day lab testing and medication refills for urgent needs
Walk in anytime — no appointment is required.
Urgent care is best when you need quick medical attention for issues that are uncomfortable, painful, or concerning — but not life-threatening.
Examples include:
- Fever, cough, or flu symptoms
- Ear pain or sore throat
- Minor allergic reactions
- Small cuts or burns
- Sprains or strains
- Painful urination or suspected UTI
- Rashes, skin infections, or insect bites
Some symptoms require emergency care. Call 911 or go directly to the ER if you experience:
- Chest pain or pressure
- Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
- Severe abdominal pain
- Head injuries or loss of consciousness
- Sudden weakness, numbness, or difficulty speaking
- Severe allergic reaction (trouble breathing, swelling of face/throat)
- Heavy bleeding that won’t stop
- Suspected stroke or heart attack
- Convenience: Walk in anytime, no appointment needed
- Speed: Short wait times compared to the ER
- Affordability: Lower costs than hospital emergency care
- Comprehensive care: On-site testing and treatment for a wide range of urgent conditions
- Personalized attention: Our providers take time to understand your needs and guide your recovery
