Dr. Torphy is really great! I came to him desperate with horrible migraines and no solution. I tried so many meds with nothing working well. He assessed my headaches and got me better meds and now I have Botox approved which is helping so much! His team working tirelessly with my insurance to get it covered. Everyone in the office is awesome. I highlight reccomend

Stop relying on over-the-counter medications to get through the day.

Ibuprofen is a great quick fix on occasion, but you shouldn’t be taking over-the-counter meds several times per month. If you need 24/7 access to your Excedrin bottle just to get through the work week, it’s time to seek help.

Headaches and eye pain occurring that frequently could be a sign of migraines, tension headaches or another issue.

The best way to treat that might not be with medication. We’ve recommended various treatments, including nutrition counseling, dietary changes, acupuncture, physical therapy and new exercise regimens.

The professionals at the Chicago Headache Center know how to determine what’s causing your headaches and eye pain, and we’re experts when it comes to picking a treatment and prevention plan to get your routine up and running.

Frequently Asked Questions about migraine headache relief:

It could, but that’s not the only possible answer. Feeling a headache behind your eyes can also be indicative of tension headaches – another common but still-painful type of headache. Eye pain and headaches are often symptoms of migraine, but there are other possibilities that an expert can diagnose.
Certainly. At the Chicago Headache Center and Research Institute, we’ll often recommend alternative methods. Changes to your nutritional regimen, acupuncture, new exercise routines – medication is only one way to treat headaches, and it’s not always the best. Every situation is different. We can help you determine what’s best for your specific case.
A visit with an ophthalmologist is often a good place to start if you’re experiencing a combination of eye pain and headaches. If that exam doesn’t reveal the root of the issue, it’s possible you’re dealing with migraine headaches. That’s where we come in.
You’ve lived your life on your headaches’ terms long enough. It’s time to start living by your own rules and on your own schedule. Move past those headaches and eye pain, take back to the good night’s sleep you deserve and get back to living your best life.
