Medication Management

Our experienced medical professionals may prescribe medications to manage acute symptoms, prevent migraines, or alleviate pain during an episode. These may include pain relievers, triptans, anti-nausea medications, or preventive medications.

Lifestyle Modifications

Identifying and avoiding triggers, such as certain foods, stress, lack of sleep, or hormonal changes, can help reduce the frequency and severity of headaches and migraines.

Stress Management Techniques

Stress-reducing techniques, such as relaxation exercises, meditation, biofeedback, or counseling, can help manage stress-related headaches.

Physical Therapy

Our skilled physical therapists can provide techniques and exercises to improve posture, relieve muscle tension, and reduce the frequency of tension headaches.

Nerve Blocks

In certain cases, nerve blocks using anesthetics or steroids may be performed to provide temporary relief for chronic or severe headaches.

Botox Injections

Botox injections have been shown to be effective in preventing chronic migraines by blocking nerve signals that trigger headaches.
