OUR SERVICES
The Women's Headache Center offers a variety of services to diagnose
the cause of headaches, treat symptoms, and reduce their frequency.
Specific services include:
Headache Care
During your initial visit, our board-certified Neurologists may
review your complete medical history, including illnesses, injuries,
family history and any medications you are taking, including over-the-counter
pain medication. We may do a neurologic exam, and possible some
further investigative studies, including radiology
tests.
Assessment and Treatment Plan
Our Neurologists will work with you to develop a plan to treat
your headaches. We may recommend traditional medicines, complementary
and alternative medical therapies or a combination. We may ask you
to keep track of your headaches and headache triggers. If you have
been keeping a diary, please bring it to your appointments. You
are an integral part of the care team.
Nutrition Counseling
Because certain foods may trigger headaches, we offer sessions
with our Registered Dietitians to help women understand their food
choices.
Integrated Medicine Services
Biofeedback: Since migraines are often triggered by stress, learning
how to properly relax is very important. Biofeedback is a mind-body
technique that uses special equipment to help women control heart
rate, blood pressure, skin temperature, and muscle tension. We have
found this to be very helpful to some patients.
