The headache center at MidAmerica Neuroscience Institute provides something that you cannot get at the office of your local neurologist, internist, or family practitioner. As good as they may be the headache care we provide is more in depth. We have in place programs and protocols to treat headache patients in ways that are not done routinely by other physicians in other offices. We have infusion center capabilities so that instead of going to the emergency room because you have an uncontrollable headache to get something intravenous, there is a possibility that you could come to our offices and have your headache treated as an outpatient without having to wade through the indignity of the emergency room where headache patients are often unfortunately treated as drug seekers. We typically have no need to use narcotics or controlled substances at MidAmerica Neuroscience Institute because almost always headaches are controlled without addicting medications, and once successful treatments are found, the patient typically is not going to be on these treatments for the rest of their life. Once we correct the headaches over the course of a few months, one could anticipate that you will remain headache-free then for many months to years before treatment is again necessary.
