Introduction To

Head Pain Management

The human head is a complex structure composed of bones, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels that work together to support vital functions. The skull protects the brain and provides attachment points for muscles. The scalp consists of skin, connective tissue, and blood vessels that play a role in sensation and protection. Major cranial nerves, such as the trigeminal nerve, control facial sensation and movement. Additionally, blood vessels like the carotid arteries and veins ensure proper circulation. Understanding this intricate anatomy helps in identifying causes of head pain and selecting appropriate treatments.

Psychological Evaluation for Headache and Migraine Relief

Stress and emotional well-being can play a significant role in the frequency and intensity of headaches and migraines. If stress is a contributing factor for you, We recommend a psychological evaluation and counseling as part of your treatment plan. During counseling, you’ll work with a psychologist to identify and manage the stressors in your life that may be contributing to your pain.

Injection Therapy

When non-invasive treatments aren’t enough, targeted injections can help reduce inflammation, relax muscles, and relieve headache and migraine pain. At Mosaic Pain, we offer Trigger Point Injections, Botulinum Toxin for Migraines, Epidural Injections and Facet Joint Injections to provide lasting relief. Our expert team tailors treatment to your needs, helping you regain control of your life.

Radiofrequency Ablation for Pain Relief

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat to disrupt pain signals from a targeted nerve. A small needle is inserted into the affected nerve, and radio waves generate heat to safely damage it. This process helps block pain signals from reaching the brain, providing long-lasting relief for chronic headaches and migraines.

Occipital Nerve Stimulation

Occipital nerve stimulation (ONS) is an advanced treatment designed to relieve chronic headaches and migraines by targeting the occipital nerves, which run from the back of the head to the scalp. A small neurostimulator is implanted under the skin, delivering mild electrical pulses to these nerves. This stimulation helps disrupt pain signals, providing significant relief for those with persistent head pain.
