Ice Pick Headaches

As we continue to work our way through explanations and exploration of different headache presentations, we are always seeking to better understand the symptoms that the people who come to us are experiencing. One presentation that we are often asked about is an 'ice pick headache' - a headache that is described as a sudden, sharp stabbing sensation that some equate to being stabbed in the eye or head with an ice pick. This feeling can be scary and extremely unpleasant for those who experience it, so Dr. Taves breaks down the mechanics of this presentation in order to take away some of that scary unknown.
