Understanding Head Anatomy
In the effort to explain why a headache happens, it is important to comprehend how the structure of the head contributes to the development of the pain. The brain is contained in the skull, with meninges, blood vessels, and nerves covering it. Tension-type headaches are also caused by muscles located around the jaw, neck, and scalp. The most important pain-sensitive structures within the head are: Trigeminal nerve: cares about facial sensation and transmission of pain. Cranial arteries: The dilation or constriction of the cranial arteries can provoke migraine. Meninges: Severe pain may be experienced by the patient due to inflammation. Muscles and cervical spine: Frequently contribute to tension headaches. To prevent this from happening, one must consult a headache specialist near them for quicker recovery and effective treatment.

When to See a Doctor for a Headache?
Although a mild headache is not a serious case and may not require medical help, some signs need to prompt an immediate appointment with a headache specialist:
Persistent or increasing headaches.
Experiencing headaches following a head injury.
Dizziness, flickering of the eye, sickness, or fainting.
Headaches in the morning and vomiting
Pain with neurological defects, such as weakness or numbness.
Diagnosis of Headache
A precise diagnosis is very crucial for an effective headache treatment. At Alleviate Pain Clinic, a thorough diagnostic protocol is followed by our headache specialist to provide a precise diagnosis:
01 Clinical History
We start with a detailed discussion about your pain's location and intensity. We also want to know what makes it better or worse. This helps us build a complete picture of your health.
02 Physical Examination
In our thorough physical exams, we test spinal mobility, perform neurologic tests, analyze posture, and identify trigger points. This will aid in localizing the source of pain and ascertaining whether there is a muscular, structural or nerve problem succinct to forming an effective intervention not involving surgery.
03 Neurological Assessment
We will evaluate your nervous system’s function by testing your reflexes and muscle strength. This helps us pinpoint the source of your pain and guide our diagnosis and treatment plan.
04 Special Tests
We may use advanced diagnostic tools to confirm the cause of your pain. This ensures an accurate diagnosis, which allows us to create a targeted and effective treatment approach for you.
05 Imaging Studies
Complex causes of back pain may be excluded with the help of advanced imaging, which would help exclude such conditions as CT scans or contrast-enhanced studies. These diagnostics, constituted with physical findings, help us to provide specific and efficient treatment of back pain in the Alleviate Pain Clinic.
Our Approach To Non-Surgical Migraine & Headache Pain Treatment
Nerve Blocks
Nerve blocks involve precisely injecting an anesthetic near specific nerves to interrupt pain signals. This procedure provides immediate relief and helps us diagnose the exact source of your discomfort.
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy)
PRP therapy uses a concentration of your own blood platelets to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints, promoting natural tissue repair and reducing inflammation.
Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy is a regenerative injection therapy that stimulates the body’s natural healing process to strengthen and repair weak or injured ligaments and tendons, providing long-term pain relief.
Radiofrequency
This minimally invasive procedure uses heat generated from radio waves to target specific nerves, effectively blocking pain signals from reaching the brain and offering lasting relief from chronic conditions.
Physiotherapy
Our customized physiotherapy programs use targeted exercises and manual therapy to restore movement, improve strength, and reduce pain, empowering you to regain function and prevent future injuries.
Lifestyle Changes
We guide you in making sustainable lifestyle adjustments, including nutrition, exercise, and stress management, to support your treatment, enhance recovery, and improve your overall quality of life.
