Our Approach to Treatment
Our treatment approach at The Head Pain Center is comprehensive and multidisciplinary, focusing on both alleviating symptoms and addressing underlying causes.
Botox
Botox works by blocking neurotransmitters that carry pain signals from the brain. Botox when injected in appropriate doses, into the head, neck and jaw muscles can help manage chronic pain issues in these regions.
Occipital Nerve Blocks
Occipital nerve blocks are a minimally invasive procedure involving the injection of medication around the occipital nerves located at the base of the skull. This targeted approach provides relief for chronic headaches, particularly those originating from the back of the head. By blocking the transmission of pain signals along the occipital nerves, this procedure offers relief from debilitating headaches.
Nerve blocks
Nerve block injections are a therapeutic intervention aimed at targeting nerves implicated in pain generation. By delivering medication directly to these specific nerves, nerve block injections provide targeted relief, helping to alleviate discomfort and identify the root cause of the pain. This procedure is instrumental in both managing symptoms and diagnosing the underlying causes of various painful conditions.
Sphenopalatine Blocks
Relieve headache pain with precise techniques. A sphenopalatine ganglion block is a technique where a local anesthetic is applied to a targeted nerve cell group in the back of the nasal passages, known as the sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG).
