A comprehensive medical evaluation is anticipated for every patient who enters The San Francisco Headache Clinic. Both English and Spanish are spoken by the staff and the physicians at The San Francisco Headache Clinic. The goal of The San Francisco Headache Clinic is for each patient to receive a proper diagnosis of the specific type of headache and its underlying causes. Since there are numerous types of headaches, the proper treatment for each is specific and differs from other treatment modes. We provide continuing care for the headache patient.
Chronic headache requires continued therapy if treatment is to be successful.
All clinic personnel are committed to that goal. We encourage the reporting of any problems connected with the headache or its treatment. We stress preventive forms of treatment to reduce the frequency and severity of headache. We stress the use of headache medications which are not addictive and have the fewest possible side effects. Biofeedback and behavioral modification therapy are available at The San Francisco Headache Clinic.
