Headache Pain Treatment

Treatment time varies according to the extent of dysfunction, the presence of co-existing problems such as a neck injury or thyroid dysfunction, patient compliance and age. Children generally require only minimal treatment while geriatric patients may heal more slowly.

Treatment is typically provided in up to three sequential stages. The degree of severity or complexity may influence the patient’s progression through these stages. However, most of our patients require only Stage I treatment to stop the pain, tinnitus, dizziness, etc. The procedures contained within these three stages are:

Stage I: Physical medicine procedures which are designed to bring about healing of injured and/or dysfunctional structures such as muscles and joints. Examples of procedures include:
- Specific exercises
- Use of electronic devices to gently stimulate healing
- Orthopedic appliances of different types which assist in reducing muscle spasm
- Exercises to facilitate joint mobilization and reduce spasm
- Nutritional recommendations

Most patient’s conditions resolve with these procedures. However, if dramatic improvement is not experienced within a few weeks, we discuss the possibility of going on to Stage II
Stage II: These procedures involve introducing very safe substances to the dysfunctional muscle, tendon, ligament, joint or ganglia. In the rare cases (approximately 1% to 3%) where pain reduces but returns several times, we consider the possibility of going on to Stage III
Stage III: Invasive measures which most often involve a procedure called Radio Frequency Thermoneurolysis. This is reserved for the most persistently painful problems and has been shown to resolve the residual head, face, eye and ear pain over 95% of the time

The average treatment length for most of our patients is approximately 4 - 5 or 6 months. Patients generally look forward to being pain free at the time of discharge.

In certain cases, none of the above is required, since many conditions resolve with simple home care instructions.
