Treatment for Headaches
Migraines can oftentimes be debilitating and uncontrollable. Patients who suffer from chronic migraines have a limited amount of treatment options. Through occipital nerve stimulation, our doctors can plant small electrodes at the base of the skull underneath the scalp. These electrodes are then attached to a battery that sends electrical signals that can effectively turn off the pain felt during migraines. Like the rest of our nerve stimulation procedures, occipital nerve stimulation is minimally invasive and can be trialed before any permanent placement is done. The patients that we have offered this to have been extremely happy with their results. We have had patients who have had chronic headaches for more than 40 yrs finally get relief after trying occipital nerve stimulation.
