Migraine & Headache Treatment
Don't let headaches hold you back
Effective, lasting relief from headache and migraine pain can be yours.
Don’t suffer from headaches because you assume it’s nothing important. At Baxter Medical Center, we specialize in treating a variety of headaches and migraine symptoms. Depending on your needs, that treatment can take many different forms.
The Types of Headaches We Treat
- Tension headaches, often caused by stress, eyestrain, and hunger, include a pain that often starts at the back of the head and creeps forward, spreading across both sides of the head.
- Cervicogenic headaches begin in the neck, usually after a neck movement, and are accompanied by a reduced range of motion of the neck.
- Cluster headaches are considered one of the most painful headache experiences and occur daily or even several times per day for weeks or months.
- Migraines, unlike what most people believe, are not just a severe type of headache. Headaches are a symptom of migraines, which is a neurological disease involving nerve pathways and chemicals. Changes in brain activity can lead to nausea, increased sensitivity to light, sound, or smells, dizziness, and fatigue.
Types of Headache and Migraine Treatment Available
- Therapeutic Botox is the same neuromodulator used in aesthetics, but when injected into specific areas of the forehead and jaw, it can block pain signals from reaching the nerve endings in your head and neck
- TX360 nasal applicator, which delivers a specific nerve block called a sphenopalatine ganglion block for instant relief
- Nerve blocks work similarly to Botox for treating headaches and migraines, with a nerve-numbing formula injected in specific areas to stop pain signals from reaching the brain
- Chiropractic therapy has shown effective results in treating and managing cervicogenic and tension headaches
What To Expect
Everyone experiences headaches, but you should seek care for chronic and severe headaches that impact your quality of life. We offer same-day and walk-in appointments if your headache or migraine requires immediate attention. Sometimes, headaches and migraines indicate more serious underlying issues that we can test for.
Your Baxter Medical Center provider will review your records and asks about your headache or migraine symptoms, including what they feel like, when they happen, and if any activities or foods seem to trigger them. Next, your provider performs a physical and neurological exam. They also order lab tests, including blood work and urinalysis if needed. If your Baxter Medical Center provider thinks your headaches are due to an issue with your central nervous system, they might also order a computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
After you visit for headache and migraine treatment near Brainerd, your next steps depend on the care you required. If follow-up visits are needed, your provider will help you schedule those and explain what to expect.
