At Sunshine Spine, we specialize in treatment many kinds of headaches. Many headaches are misdiagnosed as general migraines where as they commonly come either from mid to upper neck problems or from local nerve irritation of the nerves supplying the outer parts of the head. The common pain generators for the headaches come from the neck or from the superficial nerves supplying the head and face. Once these pain generators are addressed, the headaches generally either resolves or becomes much more manageable thus improving the quality of life of the patients incredibly.

Treatment:

Treatment starts with evaluation and follows either specific medications or nerve blocks that are used commonly followed by either BOTOX Injections or other SPINAL INJECTIONS and RADIOFREQUENCY treatment for certain irritated nerves. PERIPHERAL NERVE STIMULATION can also be done mimicking institutions like MAYO CLINIC which can be life changers in certain patients. Overall patients tend to do very well and a great majority of them see significant improvement in their pain and thus the quality of life.

OUT OF STATE PATIENTS:

Here at Sunshine Spine & Pain, we can treat patients from out of state with accurate diagnosis and treatment (Treatment NOT consisting of OPIATE MEDICINES for out of state patients). Patients from Out of state are encouraged to get us their medical records for proper evaluation and treatment before their arrival. We like to see their films even more than the radiologist reports that can miss related findings easily. We can interview those patients over the phone before arrivng based on individual cases,  and then schedule an appointment thus compressing weeks/ months of treatment within days thus rendering targeted medical care in as compressed a time as possible. Options include Specialized NERVE BLOCKS followed by BOTOX injections, Spinal injections and Radiofrequency treatment as may be indicated. Peripheral Nerve Stimulation also forms a vital possibility for managing these headaches.
