Advanced Headache Care
Our Treatment Approach
When you've been living with severe or chronic headaches, you know that standard treatments often fall short. At Nadejda Tihomirovs PC, our Advanced Headache Care isn't just about managing symptoms; it's about identifying the root causes of your pain and offering specialized, cutting-edge procedures and comprehensive conservative therapies designed to provide significant, lasting relief.
We understand how debilitating headaches can be, stealing your days and impacting your quality of life. That's why our team is dedicated to exploring every appropriate avenue, from innovative pharmacological options to precise interventional procedures and evidence-based non-pharmacological strategies, tailored specifically to your unique condition.
Our advanced approaches include, but are not limited to:
Botulinum Toxin for Chronic Migraine
Specifically approved for adults with chronic migraine (15 or more headache days a month, with at least 8 of those being migraine), Botulinum Toxin injections can significantly reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks. This preventive treatment works by relaxing muscles and blocking pain signals, offering many patients a substantial improvement in their quality of life.
Infusion Therapies
For severe, acute, or refractory headaches that haven't responded to other treatments, intravenous (IV) infusion therapies can provide powerful relief by delivering medications directly into the bloodstream. These are often administered in a comfortable, supervised setting in our office.
-
Magnesium Infusion: Can be effective for some types of migraine, particularly with aura.
-
NAD+ Infusion: NAD+ is a coenzyme essential for cellular function and energy production. It plays a role in brain health and can help reduce neuroinflammation and optimize brain chemistry, which may contribute to migraine relief.
Additional Conservative Therapies
Beyond procedural interventions, our comprehensive approach often integrates a range of conservative, non-pharmacological therapies. These methods are crucial for long-term headache management, prevention, and improving overall well-being by addressing contributing factors like stress, muscle tension, and lifestyle habits.
Depending on your individual needs, your personalized care plan may include recommendations for or referrals to:
Physical Therapy: Targeted exercises, manual therapy, and postural correction to address musculoskeletal issues in the neck and shoulders that can contribute to certain headache types (e.g., cervicogenic or tension-type headaches).
Lifestyle Modifications & Education: Guidance on crucial aspects such as:
-
Stress management techniques
-
Sleep hygiene
-
Nutritional guidance and trigger food identification
-
Regular, appropriate exercise
-
Hydration
-
Workstation ergonomics
