Headaches:

 

Dr. Rehman can help in treating various headaches, which may come from peripheral irritation of the superficial cranial nerves such as the occipital nerves, Auriculo temporal nerves, or the supra orbital and supra trochlear nerves.

 

These Occipital nerves can cause pain over the base/ back of the head which then come over the head to the top or even to the front in some patients. Other patients with Auriculo temporal neuralgias report temporal headaches over the sides of the head with sensitivity of the areas just infront/ over the top front part of the ears. The supra orbital and supra temporal neuralgias cause pain over the frontal areas over the eyes.

 

These headaches are quite effectively treated with a combination of icing, medications, appropriate rehabilitation and occasionally injections.  Botox injections can also help appropriate patients. For further information on headaches please look at the appropriate website links provided.
