Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Z-2-H Family Med & Urgent Care

What is a tension headache?

A tension headache is a common type of headache characterized by a dull, aching pain or pressure, often described as a tight band around the head.

What symptoms indicate I should seek care?

Persistent head pain, pressure, neck or shoulder tightness, headaches lasting several days, or headaches that interfere with daily activities should be evaluated.

How do you differentiate tension headaches from migraines?

Providers assess pain quality, location, associated symptoms, triggers, and medical history to distinguish tension headaches from migraines or other headache types.

Can stress cause tension headaches?

Yes. Emotional stress, poor posture, lack of sleep, and muscle tension are common contributors.

Is this service appropriate for recurring headaches?

Yes. Ongoing or recurrent tension headaches benefit from medical evaluation to identify triggers and prevent chronic symptoms.

What treatments are commonly recommended?

Treatment may include lifestyle adjustments, stress management, posture correction, physical therapy guidance, and appropriate medications.

When should I seek urgent care instead?

Seek urgent care immediately for sudden severe headaches, headaches with fever, neurological changes, vision loss, or head injury.

Does insurance cover tension headache visits?

Most major insurance plans are accepted. Coverage depends on your specific plan and medical necessity.

Is in-home care safe for headache evaluation?

Yes. Mobile urgent care providers are licensed clinicians who follow medical guidelines and determine if further testing or referral is needed.

How quickly can mobile urgent care arrive?

Appointment availability varies by location, but same-day or next-day visits are often available.

Can children and teens be treated?

Yes. Headache evaluations are available for both adults and pediatric patients.

How does telehealth differ from in-person care?

Telehealth allows symptom review and guidance remotely, while in-home or in-clinic visits allow physical examination and more comprehensive assessment.

Is my medical information kept private?

Yes. All visits comply with HIPAA regulations to protect your privacy and personal health information.

What is the appointment process?

You can book online, choose a convenient time, and complete intake forms before your visit for efficient care.
