Took my elderly mother, who is also a cancer patient there looking for a primary care doctor. I have 30 years of experience under my belt of dealing with medical professionals, and I don't give 5 stars easily. The place was immaculate, and we were greeted with smiles when we walked through the door.

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.

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?
