Are there alternative treatment options if patients
would like to avoid prescription medications?

I see several patients who have had either difficulty tolerating medications
or are not interested in starting any prescription medications. There are
several alternative options including vitamin supplementation, lifestyle
modifications, craniosacral therapy and procedures that can be done to
help reduce an overactive nervous system without causing intolerable
side effects. In addition, there are several options for pregnant patients
with headache to help manage headache throughout pregnancy.

When headaches are
impacting a person’s
ability to perform activities
of daily living, patients
should seek treatment from
a physician. My goal is to
develop an effective
treatment plan for patients
so that headaches are not
preventing them from
missing out on their lives.
