You’ll be supported by experienced clinicians who care for a wide range of health needs, from everyday concerns to more complex conditions.

Our clinicians track your progress over time and adjust your care as needed. If medication is prescribed, we’ll manage dosing and monitor for side effects. If lab testing is recommended, we review results and refine your plan accordingly. You’re never left to navigate care on your own.

All your care in one place. That’s the General Medicine difference.

We help you understand your options, connect you to the right clinicians, manage prescriptions, coordinate any needed evaluations, and keep an eye on your overall health along the way. It’s comprehensive care that looks at the full picture — your goals, your history, your lifestyle — and makes it simple to move forward with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes tension headaches?

Tension headaches are typically triggered by muscle tension, stress, poor posture, sleep disruption, dehydration, or eye strain. Identifying your personal triggers is an important part of managing them effectively.

How do I know if my headache is a tension headache or something more serious?

Tension headaches produce a dull, pressing, bilateral pain — not pulsating or severe. Red flags including sudden severe onset, neurological symptoms, fever, or headaches waking you from sleep warrant prompt clinical evaluation.

When should I see a clinician about my headaches?

If headaches are occurring more than twice a week, worsening over time, not responding to OTC pain relievers, or significantly affecting your daily life — a clinical evaluation is appropriate to discuss preventive and acute treatment options.

Will I need prescription medication?

Not always. Many tension headaches respond to OTC options, lifestyle adjustments, and behavioral strategies. For frequent or severe tension headaches, prescription preventive medications or stronger acute treatments may provide more meaningful relief.

What side effects are associated with tension headache treatments?

OTC pain relievers can cause stomach irritation with frequent use. Overuse of any acute headache treatment — more than 10–15 days per month — can cause medication overuse headache, which makes headaches worse over time. Tension Headache visit What to expect from a Tension Headache visit
