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
