If you suffer from migraine headaches, you're not alone. More than 39 million Americans live with migraines, a complex neurological disorder that extends far beyond a typical headache. The good news? Effective migraine treatment is available, and it starts with understanding your symptoms and available options.
There are many types of headaches, such as tension, cervicogenic and migraine headaches. Identifying the type of headache is critical to choosing the proper treatment. Tension headaches present with tight, band-like pressure. Cervicogenic headaches typically arise from the neck. Migraines are more than "just bad headaches." They are a neurological disorder that often presents as one-sided, pulsating pain lasting hours or even days.
Progressive Sweeping is scheduled to perform annual street sweeping in the Village of Bluffton on Tuesday, July 15.
This should be a 1–2-day project beginning around 5:30 a.m. on Main St. in the business district.
Please avoid on-street parking on Tuesday and Wednesday from 5:30 a.m.-4 p.m. This will allow for a more complete cleaning as well as faster completion of the project.
