Headache treatment is not the easiest task, as it depends on various side factors, which often require the involvement of different specialists.
First of all, if one has complaints about headaches, he or she should immediately pay a visit to a family doctor, who assesses the general state of health, sends for tests and immediately prescribe the initial treatment.
However, there are cases when family doctor alone is not able to solve the patient's problem, so the next step is involving other specialists - a neurologist or an algologist (pain management doctor).
If necessary additional diagnostic examinations and consultations with specialists from other fields are prescribed. At the end of the visit, an individual treatment plan will be provided, including a comprehensive approach: reviewing lifestyle, regimen and eating habits, as well as choosing the most appropriate medications and procedures.
To make the visit and the treatment process even more effective, we recommend filling out the Headache Calendar beforehand and showing the findings to the doctor, as well as reading the section Preparing for the visit.
