The First Step

of Headache Treatment is to get the correct diagnosis

Comprehensive Diagnostics For
Headache Diagnosis

At Advanced Headache Center, our team of headache specialists works together to provide you with a comprehensive diagnostic work up which may include review of complete medical history, family history, laboratory testing done on site, allergy testing and radiology services.

No one headache is the same and therefore should not be treated generically. While primary care physicians are a good source for acute headaches, headaches that are persistent should be analyzed by a doctor with an expertise in the field.

Headaches can be attributed to any number of underlying primary or secondary causes including hormonal changes, nutrient deficiencies, severe allergies, pain medication dependence, and spinal issues.

For this reason, patients of Advanced Headache Center have the convenience and reliability of working with a team of multi-specialty doctors to uncover the true cause of your headaches.

What can you expect from your first appointment?

Primary headaches are severe forms of headaches that can affect the quality of a patient's life if left untreated, or treated improperly.

Primary headaches are typically not dangerous but can severely impact a person's ability to live a normal daily life depending on the severity of their condition.

Secondary Headaches

Headaches often occur and they do not always require medical attention. Some headaches can be attributed to fatigue, menstruation or can just be a random occurrence. If you experience headaches that are frequent or debilitating, that is the time to seek a headache doctor.

Symptoms that require immediate medical attention include:

sudden headaches and a stiff neck
sudden headaches with fever and/or nausea
headaches followed by bouts of confusion, double vision or loss of consciousness
headaches after an injury to the head
headaches followed by weakness in part of the body, convulsions or loss of breath
