When to Visit Urgent Care for
Headaches

Migraines and severe headaches can be debilitating, affecting your ability to work, care for your family, and enjoy daily life. When over-the-counter medications are not enough, TrufaMED provides fast-acting treatment to break the cycle of pain.

Our providers evaluate your symptoms to distinguish between tension headaches, migraines, cluster headaches, and headaches caused by other conditions like sinus infections or dehydration. A thorough examination helps us identify triggers and provide the most effective treatment.

Visit urgent care for a headache if it is the worst headache of your life, came on suddenly and severely, is accompanied by fever or stiff neck, follows a head injury, or is not responding to your usual treatments. We provide rapid relief and develop a management plan for recurring headaches.

Comprehensive
Headache Care

01

Rapid Pain Relief

Fast-acting medications including prescription-strength anti-inflammatories, triptans, anti-nausea treatments, and other evidence-based therapies to break your headache or migraine quickly.

02

Migraine Evaluation

Thorough assessment of migraine type, frequency, triggers, and severity to provide targeted treatment and develop a prevention strategy that reduces future episodes.

03

Dehydration Treatment

IV hydration therapy available for patients whose headaches are worsened by dehydration — a common trigger in Miami's heat. Rapid rehydration can significantly reduce headache severity.

04

Sinus Headache Assessment

Evaluation for sinusitis-related headaches with appropriate antibiotic treatment when bacterial infection is identified as the underlying cause of your head pain.

05

Neurological Screening

Focused neurological exam to identify any concerning features that may require advanced imaging or specialist referral, ensuring your headache does not indicate a serious condition.

06

Prevention Planning

A personalized headache management plan including trigger identification, lifestyle modifications, medication options, and referral to neurology for chronic or complex headache disorders.

Migraine vs. Tension Headache:
Know the Difference

Tension headaches produce a constant, band-like pressure around the head and are typically mild to moderate in intensity. They respond well to over-the-counter pain relievers and are often caused by stress, poor posture, or eye strain. Migraines are more severe, often one-sided, and frequently accompanied by nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and visual disturbances called aura.

At TrufaMED, treatment is tailored to your specific headache type. Tension headaches may be treated with NSAIDs and muscle relaxants, while migraines often require triptans, anti-nausea medications, and sometimes IV hydration. Our providers also assess whether your headache pattern warrants preventive medication.

For patients experiencing frequent migraines — more than four per month — we can initiate preventive therapy and coordinate with neurologists for long-term management. Our goal is not just to treat your current headache, but to reduce the frequency and severity of future episodes.

IV THERAPY ADD-ON

Accelerate Your Recovery with Pain Relief IV.

Our Pain Relief IV delivers a targeted blend of anti-inflammatory compounds, magnesium, and B-vitamins directly into your bloodstream — providing faster, more complete relief than oral medication alone. Many migraine patients report significant improvement within 20 minutes of infusion.

Frequently Asked
Questions.

When should I go to urgent care for a headache?+
Visit urgent care if your headache is severe and not responding to over-the-counter medication, if it came on suddenly, is the worst of your life, is accompanied by fever, stiff neck, or neurological symptoms, or follows a head injury.
Can urgent care treat migraines?+
Yes. We provide prescription-strength migraine medications including triptans, anti-nausea treatments, anti-inflammatories, and IV hydration. Our goal is rapid relief during your visit.
Do you offer IV therapy for headaches?+
Yes. IV hydration can be very effective for headaches related to dehydration, which is common in South Florida. We also offer IV therapy as part of our wellness services.
How quickly will I feel better?+
Many patients experience significant relief within 30-60 minutes of treatment. The specific timeline depends on your headache type and the treatment administered.
Do I need imaging for my headache?+
Most headaches do not require imaging. Our providers perform a neurological exam and will recommend imaging only if there are concerning features that warrant further evaluation.
Can you help with chronic headaches?+
We can evaluate your headache pattern, initiate preventive therapy, and refer you to a neurologist for ongoing management of chronic headaches or complex migraine disorders.

Acute Migraine & Severe Headache Care

When Same-Day Care Beats Toughing It Out

Severe migraine and tension headache that has not responded to your home medication regimen warrants same-day evaluation. Same-day care is especially valuable for: a migraine that has lasted longer than 4 hours despite oral medication, severe nausea preventing oral medication uptake, a headache that woke you from sleep, the first severe headache of your life, sudden-onset "thunderclap" headache (this is an ER call, not urgent care), or any headache with new neurological symptoms (vision changes, weakness, confusion).

What an IV Migraine Protocol Looks Like

TrufaMED's acute migraine protocol typically combines IV magnesium sulfate (which downregulates the NMDA receptor pathway driving migraine pain), IV ketorolac (Toradol — a non-opioid anti-inflammatory that controls inflammation-mediated head pain), IV anti-nausea medication (Zofran or Reglan), and a 1-liter saline carrier. Most patients report meaningful relief within 30 to 45 minutes of infusion start. The full visit takes 60 to 75 minutes including initial evaluation.

Beyond the Acute Visit

For patients with frequent migraines (more than 4 attacks per month), TrufaMED can develop a longer-term prevention strategy — including daily preventive medications, lifestyle modification (sleep, hydration, identified trigger avoidance), and regularly-scheduled monthly Myers' Cocktail or magnesium-focused IV therapy. Concierge members get integrated migraine management as part of their plan; non-members can transition to the program after the acute visit.

Red Flags Requiring the ER

For sudden "worst headache of life," headache after head trauma, headache with stiff neck and fever, headache with confusion, weakness, vision loss, or trouble speaking, or headache in a pregnant patient with high blood pressure — go to the ER, not urgent care. These can signal stroke, meningitis, hemorrhage, or pre-eclampsia.
