Head and Face Pain
Headaches and sinus infections are something we all experience at one time or another, but acute or chronic head and face pain can be debilitating. Ongoing and/or severe bouts of this type of pain, or craniofacial pain, is less common and requires specialist treatment to alleviate the pain in many circumstances. Head and face pain can be caused by many different issues. It could be a symptom of an underlying condition, due to lifestyle or workplace choices, or due to many other environmental factors.
