HEADACHES

If you're exploring alternative headache relief treatments or finding that your current medications aren't providing the expected relief, we invite you to explore the therapies we provide.

Non-Invasive, Non-Medicated Therapy For Migraines, Tension Type Headaches, Cluster Headaches, Hemicrania Continua and Paroxysmal Hemicrania

A. Strategies to help avoid common migraine triggers

Lifestyle modifications such as managing stress, ensuring adequate hydration, regular exercise, sufficient sleep, and identifying and avoiding trigger factors like certain foods or environmental stimuli can significantly contribute to headache management.

B. TX360® : An Innovative Solution

The Tx360® is a medical device designed for the precise administration of the SPG (sphenopalatine ganglion) nerve block. This sophisticated device is engineered to administer minute amounts of fluids, anesthetic and/or steroid, through a slender catheter discreetly inserted into the nasal passage. The fluid's purpose is to temporarily anesthetize the SPG, a crucial nerve relay center intricately linked to the trigeminal nerve, which plays a pivotal role in various headache and facial pain disorders.

The Tx360® device offers a compelling approach to addressing the following conditions:

  • Migraine headaches with or without aura
     

  • Tension Headache
     

  • Cluster Headaches
     

  • Headache due to PTSD
     

  • Post Concussion Headache
     

  • Headache during pregnancy
     

  • Trigeminal Neuralgia
     

  • Atypical Facial Pain

The Tx360 stands out as a remarkably effective, non-invasive, and virtually pain-free solution.​ Most significantly, it is a solution that operates independently of systemic medication for its effectiveness.

C. gammaCore™ Non-Invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation​

gammaCore is a device specifically designed to provide safe and effective relief for various headache and facial pain conditions. Its standout feature lies in its non-invasive design, eliminating the need for medications or needles.

 

This handheld device is easy to use and can be self-administered by patients, making it a convenient addition to your pain management toolkit. It can be used both as an acute treatment at the onset of a headache or as a preventative measure.
