The Headache Center Team

Physical Therapy

Many people impacted by headache and migraine often experience neck pain, tension, stiffness, and/or discomfort. Muscles in the neck can become tense and tight from overuse, static postural loading (like sitting at a computer), as well as previous injury or trauma. These tense and tight muscles can cause referred pain from regions of the neck to the head or face (i.e. jaw) and may further complicate or trigger headache.

Vestibular Therapy

Dizziness and headache are very common symptoms and frequently co-exist. Dr. Eisen is a board certified neurotologist and is the medical director of the Hartford Hospital Hearing and Balance Center. The Dizzy Clinic is a multi-disciplinary group who focus on the diagnosis and management of dizziness, vertigo and imbalance. Additional services offered as part of the comprehensive care of headache include vestibular therapy performed by a skilled practitioner.

Integrative Medicine

Acupuncture and Massage for headache can provide an excellent alternative to compliment your medical treatments. Acupuncture is a well-known component of traditional Chinese medicine. Both acupuncture and massage treatment for headache prevention target stress and pain reduction. The goal is to reduce tension throughout the body and rebalance the central nervous system.

Pain Management

Chronic pain can increase your risk of headache. Our pain specialists can help treat other comorbid pain conditions that are contributing to headache by utilizing non-narcotic approaches, as well as specializing in non-invasive procedures for managing and treating pain.

Medical Weight Loss Medicine

Research has shown that the risk of experiencing headache is increased in those who are overweight or obese. People impacted by headache who are obese are more likely to develop more frequent headaches. Medical weight-loss options are tailored specifically and may include nutritional education, lifestyle guidance, exercise plans, behavioral-mindful eating techniques, and trigger analysis and pharmacotherapy options.

Sleep Medicine

Headache and disrupted sleep are often intertwined in a cycle of one triggering the other. Sleep disorders that may impact headache can include: insomnia, sleep disordered breathing (such as obstructive sleep apnea), and bruxism.
