The many factors that trigger and perpetuate headache that are woven into everyday life have to be addressed. Patient involvement includes keeping a headache diary, which aids in identifying headache triggers and in judging treatment efficacy. We strongly adhere to the belief that caring contact between medical practitioner and patient is an essential component of healing. A therapeutic partnership is developed in an unhurried atmosphere, an approach that is becoming rare in today's pressured medical practice. We use as few medications as possible.
Most individuals require some medication for prevention and relief of headache.
These medications can be kept to a minimum by using complementary modalities such as lifestyle modification, relaxation techniques, biofeedback, cognitive behavioral therapy, and stress reduction. We do not rely on habit-forming medications such as narcotic analgesics or tranquilizers. No such medications are stored on the premises . We aim to improve the headache sufferer's quality of life and help patients regain their joy of living. Each person can achieve some measure of control by reducing the number of headaches and by using appropriate pain relief.
