We understand that headaches can be debilitating and greatly impact a person's quality of life. Migraine and tension type headaches are common types of headaches that can have a significant impact on a person's quality of life. At our hospital, we understand the complex nature of headaches and offer a range of evidence-based treatments to help patients manage their pain and improve their overall functioning.
Our pain clinic is staffed by experienced professionals who specialize in the treatment of headaches. Treatment options may include medication management, relaxation techniques, biofeedback therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, and other types of non-invasive therapies.
Medication management involves the use of prescription medications to manage headache pain and reduce the frequency and severity of headaches. Relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing and guided imagery, can help reduce stress and tension, which can contribute to headaches. Biofeedback therapy teaches patients to control their body's responses to stress, such as muscle tension and heart rate, which can also help reduce the frequency and severity of headaches. Cognitive-behavioural therapy can help patients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours that may be contributing to their headaches.
Our pain clinic team works closely with each patient to develop an individualized treatment plan that addresses their specific needs and goals. We take a holistic approach to headache treatment, considering the physical, psychological, and social factors that may be contributing to a patient's pain.
If you are struggling with headaches, we encourage you to contact our psychiatry hospital to schedule an evaluation with our pain clinic team. We are here to help you manage your pain and improve your overall quality of life.
