Precision Headache Clinic is a multidisciplinary medical clinic which brings together specialists in the diagnosis and treatment of headaches and facial pain. The diagnosis and treatment of headaches and facial pain has evolved rapidly in recent years, and we aim to offer you the benefits of access to leading edge medical care.

TREATMENT AT PRECISION HEADACHE CLINIC

Treatment options may include one or more of the following:

• Education and explanation of your symptoms
• Individually tailored pain medications
• Specialised physiotherapy, acupuncture, or myotherapy
• Facet joint or nerve blocks
• Occipital nerve blocks
• Botox injections
• Radiofrequency denervations
• Cognitive behavioural therapy
• Biofeedback therapy
• Occipital or peripheral nerve stimulation (neuromodulation)
• A structured pain management program or rehabilitation program

Your condition will also be discussed formally (and obviously confidentially) in a multidisciplinary meeting between the above specialists, and a treatment plan devised.

Your GP and other treating doctors will be kept up to date with your evaluation and treatment, and he or she will usually play an important ongoing role in your ongoing management. Similarly, if you already have a physiotherapist or psychologist, they too will be part of our circle of communication and therapy, in order to optimise your outcome.
