Headache Clinic

Housed within the Department of Neurology, the headache clinic offers innovative therapies and medications to provide substantial pain relief to patients. In rare cases when headache pain is a sign of a more serious problem, neurologists work with other specialists to ensure appropriate treatment.

The headache clinic addresses common conditions such as migraine and tension type headache as well as rarer diseases such as cluster, post traumatic headache, new daily persistent headache and autonomic cephalgias. In addition to providing up to date traditional treatment, staff encourage and guide interested families in the use of natural supplements, physical therapy, psychological intervention and referral to inpatient services as deemed appropriate.

The clinic sees more than 1000 headache related visits per year from throughout the state of Michigan. Neurologists work closely with dietitians, nurse practitioners, nurses and other specialties such as neuro-ophthalmologists to ensure the highest quality of care for patients.
