Can an online doctor treat headaches or migraines?

Yes. Many tension headaches and migraines can be evaluated via telemedicine. We review your symptoms, triggers, and history, recommend symptom relief strategies, and when appropriate prescribe non-controlled medications.

When is a headache an emergency instead of a telemedicine issue?

Seek emergency care right away for sudden severe 'worst headache', headache with confusion, trouble speaking, weakness, vision loss, stiff neck with fever, head injury, or other stroke or meningitis warning signs.
