Migraine vs. Tension Headache: What is the Difference?
Headaches are not all the same — and the right treatment depends on knowing the cause.

⚪️ Migraine
• Pain: throbbing, usually one-sided
• Extras: nausea, light/sound sensitivity
• Lasts: hours to days

⚪️ Tension Headache
• Pain: dull, tight “band” around the head
• Extras: neck tension, scalp tenderness
• Lasts: 30 minutes to a few hours

Why it matters
Each type needs its own approach. Understanding your symptoms helps us find the right treatment and real relief.

Types of Degenerative Disk Disease

Degenerative disk disease primarily affects the spine’s most mobile areas—your lower back and neck:

1. Lumbar Degenerative Disk Disease: Occurs in the lower back (L1-L5), where 90% of disk problems arise, causing pain and stiffness.
2. Cervical Degenerative Disk Disease: Affects the neck, making head movement painful, though some experience no symptoms.

Neck pain and headaches are often linked.
Tight or irritated muscles in the neck can put pressure on nearby nerves, sending pain upward and triggering tension headaches.

You may feel:
• A dull ache at the base of the skull
• Pressure behind the eyes
• Headaches that worsen by evening
• Relief when you stretch or massage the neck

If this sounds familiar, the real issue may be coming from your cervical spine — not just your head.
An early evaluation helps break the pain cycle and prevent chronic symptoms.

Back pain feels different depending on what is causing it. Here is the quick, simple breakdown:

🟦 NERVES
• shooting pain down arm/leg
• numbness, tingling, “electric” sensations
• sharp spikes with certain movements

🟦 DISCS
• worse when sitting or bending forward
• deep central pressure
• stiff mornings or long drives

🟦 JOINTS (facet joints)
• pain on one side of the spine
• worse when turning or arching back
• stiffness after standing/walking
The source matters — it changes the treatment.

If you only treat the flare-up, the cycle continues.
That is why our approach focuses on treating the root cause — not just the painful moment❗️

Depending on the diagnosis, we may use:
• targeted injections to calm inflammation
• nerve blocks to pinpoint the source of pain
• minimally invasive procedures to relieve pressure
• personalized rehab strategies to prevent future flare-ups

When the source is treated correctly, the cycle breaks — and your back finally gets a chance to heal❗️

So many patients come to us after months — or even years — of recurring pain.
They have tried medications, massages, occasional injections… and the relief never lasts!

Here is the truth:
Pain keeps returning when the cause is NOT treated — only the symptoms❗️

At our clinic we focus on:
→ identifying the real source of your pain (not just where it hurts)
→ using image-guided precision injections for accurate treatment
→ addressing inflammation, joint stability, nerve irritation, and muscle imbalance
→ building a long-term plan that prevents the pain from “coming back”

If your pain always returns, that means your treatment strategy needs to change — and we are here to help you do that safely and effectively.

An epidural steroid injection is a targeted treatment used to reduce inflammation around irritated spinal nerves. The goal is not to “mask” the pain, but to calm the inflamed area so the nerve can heal and symptoms can settle.

This procedure is often recommended for patients with:
• sciatica or radiating leg pain
• herniated or bulging discs
• spinal stenosis
• nerve irritation that has not improved with rest or physical therapy

For many, it provides meaningful relief — allowing them to move more comfortably, return to daily activities, and continue rehabilitation without severe pain.

If nerve-related back or leg pain is affecting your quality of life, an evaluation with a pain specialist can help determine whether this treatment is right for you.

Long hours at a desk put extra pressure on your spine and make your muscles work unevenly. That is why stiffness and pain build up.

➤ Core muscles switch off, forcing your back to overwork.
➤ Tight hips pull the lower back forward.
➤ Slouching adds even more strain.
➤ Little movement = poor circulation and tired muscles.

🔽 Good news
Short breaks, simple stretches, and better posture already help.
If the pain keeps coming back, a professional evaluation can find the real cause — and fix it early.

Radiating pain is when discomfort travels from your neck into your shoulder, arm, or even your fingers.
It usually means a nerve is irritated or compressed.

Common causes:
• pinched nerve
• herniated or bulging disc
• inflammation
• severe muscle tension

How it feels:
• shooting or spreading pain
• numbness or tingling
• burning sensation
• weakness in the arm

If these symptoms last more than a few days or get worse, it is time to see a specialist. Early treatment helps prevent chronic pain and nerve damage.

Using advanced diagnostics and personalized treatment plans, we help patients achieve real, long-lasting relief — not just temporary comfort.

Back pain that just will not go away?
For many patients, the problem is not just muscle tension — it is inflammation pressing on spinal nerves.

That is where epidural steroid injections can help.
They deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly to the source of pain, reducing pressure, swelling, and discomfort — without the need for surgery.

Most patients notice relief within days, allowing them to move more freely and return to daily activities faster.

💬 If chronic back pain is holding you back, schedule a consultation with Dr. Vadim Kushnerik to discuss whether this treatment is right for you.
