Headache Clinic

We work with you and your family to properly diagnose the underlying headache cause and find a treatment that works.

Pharmacological Management

Headache treatments often involve medicines to reduce pain and to stop the headaches from happening. Mild to moderate headaches can often be addressed with

• Analgesics
• Anti-inflammatories

More severe headaches may require medicines used to ease or relieve nausea symptoms associated with the headaches such as anti-emetics, abortive therapies that constrict blood vessels in the brain such as triptans and daily prophylactic medicines which can prevent the headache from occurring.

Non-Pharmacological Management

Headaches can be treated in many ways that do not involve medicines. Some options include:

• Physical therapy
• Biofeedback
• Exercise
• Stress management
• Acupuncture
• Sleep management
• Massage
