Chronic Headaches and Migraines
There is no reason for you to suffer any longer.
Don't wait for the New Year before you seek help. We are here for you.
3.2 million Americans live with Chronic Migraine—a neurological condition that amounts to much more than just frequent headaches and migraines. There are many different types of headaches and therefore treatment is not one size fits all. However our success rate with treatment is nearly 99%.
We offer a holistic approach and many different modalities which have proven to be a big reason for our phenomenal success rate. One such modality is BOTOX®. The needle used to inject BOTOX® is half an inch long and very thin. The injections take about 15 minutes, and though you may experience mild discomfort, people say the injections feel like tiny pinches or pinpricks. It can last anywhere from 3-4 months of headache free days or longer. To maintain this effect, regular maintenance is suggested. For migraine suffers who find complete relief, the mild discomfort of the procedure is well worth the extended pain free time.
An occipital nerve block is an injection of a steroid or other medication around the greater and lesser occipital nerves that are located on the back of the head just above the neck area.
We offer many treatment options tailored to your specific headache type and your needs. Often all it takes is Acupuncture, trigger point, occipital nerve block, OMT or supplements to rid someone of headache pain and truly change your life. We are knowledgeable and capable of performing ALL of these procedures.
Dr. Da Silva also stays on top of any new treatments available and implements them as soon as deemed safe. A wonderful advancement in migraine prevention has been achieved through the use of medications known as monoclonal antibodies. This medication may work by changing the amounts of certain natural substances in the brain. Preventing frequent migraine attacks can help improve your quality of life and restore your health.
