Request an AppointmentGetting to the Root of Head Pain
Head pain does not always start in the head. Many headaches come from the joints, nerves, and muscles of the upper neck, especially after injuries like whiplash. Others are neurological, such as chronic migraine, or are linked to nerve damage elsewhere in the body. Our team takes the time to find out exactly what is driving your pain so treatment can target the source instead of just masking symptoms.

Conditions We Treat
A Personalized Plan for Lasting Relief
Your plan may combine more than one approach. For example, a patient with headaches after a car accident might benefit from medial branch blocks and trigger point injections, while a patient with chronic migraine might start with Botox. We also offer careful pain medication management and coordinate personal injury care for accident-related injuries. Explore related neck pain treatment or return to all pain management services.
Frequently Asked Questions About Head Pain Treatment
What causes headaches that start in the neck?
Irritated facet joints, tight muscles, and pinched nerves in the upper neck can send pain into the head, often after injuries like whiplash.
Do you treat chronic migraines?
Yes. We offer preventive treatments, including Botox for chronic migraine, along with neck-focused care when it contributes to headaches.
When should I see a pain doctor for headaches?
See a provider if headaches are frequent, interfere with daily life, follow an injury, or no longer respond to over-the-counter medication.
Are your headache treatments surgical?
No. Our headache treatments are minimally invasive procedures and injections performed in the office.
Can whiplash cause long-term headaches?
Yes. Post-whiplash headaches can become chronic without treatment of the underlying neck injury.
Do I need imaging before treatment?
Your provider will let you know if imaging such as an MRI would help confirm the source of your pain.
