Chronic Headache Treatment

Learn about expert treatments for chronic daily headaches provided by Dr. Gary A. Belaga.

Understanding Chronic Headaches

Chronic headaches are persistent, often daily, headaches that can significantly impact your quality of life. Unlike occasional headaches, chronic headaches last for 15 or more days each month, for at least three months. Identifying the underlying causes and triggers is essential for effective treatment.

“From my experience, personal connections and continuous care are the most important things. Therefore I always take the time to get to know my patients.”

Comprehensive Chronic Headache Treatment at BelagaMed

Our Approach to Chronic Headache Treatment

At BelagaMed, we offer a comprehensive approach to chronic headache treatment, which includes a detailed evaluation, personalized treatment plans, and a variety of therapies tailored to your needs.

Detailed Evaluation

Our first step is a thorough evaluation of your medical history and headache patterns, focusing on the frequency, intensity, and potential triggers. By understanding these unique aspects, we can develop a treatment plan specifically designed for you.

Personalized Treatment Plans

Based on your evaluation, our specialists will create a personalized treatment plan. This may include medication management, lifestyle modifications, and alternative therapies aimed at providing long-term relief

Botox for Chronic Headaches

Botox injections are FDA-approved for the treatment of chronic headaches. The treatment involves injecting small amounts of botulinum toxin into specific areas of the head and neck to reduce headache frequency and severity. Our specialists at BelagaMed are experienced in administering Botox for chronic headaches, ensuring optimal results.

Medication Management

We prescribe a range of medications to help prevent chronic headaches or alleviate symptoms during an attack. Medications are chosen based on individual patient needs to maximize effectiveness while minimizing side effects.

Lifestyle and Dietary Modifications

Identifying and avoiding triggers can significantly reduce the frequency of chronic headaches. We offer guidance on dietary changes, stress management, and other lifestyle adjustments to help you manage your condition.

Alternative Therapies

In addition to conventional treatments, we recognize the value of complementary approaches to chronic headache management. At BelagaMed, we may refer patients to trusted specialists for alternative therapies such as acupuncture, massage therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT).

These therapies can provide additional relief and help manage pain, stress, and other factors contributing to chronic headaches. By collaborating with these specialists, we ensure a holistic approach to your care, integrating various methods to optimize your treatment plan and improve your quality of life.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m grateful to have met Dr Belaga and his staff on my migraine journey. He’s simply one of the most helpful, efficient and compassionate doctors I’ve ever met. With Dr Belaga’s advice and help, I was able to try different types of migraine treatments and found what worked for me. More importantly, I really feel like he’s advocating for me and doing whatever it takes to help me, including fighting with insurance. His staff are also extremely kind, flexible and responsive. I highly recommend this office for anyone seeking migraine prevention and relief.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 12 years of migraines vs Dr. Belaga, and Dr. Belaga won. I suffered from jaw/neck/headache/migraine issues for years and was truly hopeless. I've been to Belaga's office a few times for adjustments and he *always* makes time to see me ASAP. I am in good hands and wish that I had found him sooner. If you are suffering from migraines, you don't have to anymore.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing doctor. Caring and compassionate. Staff are all great and really helpful. Office location is well appointed and has parking available free of charge. Highly recommended. I've seen him for almost 10 years.

After 3 1/2 years of finding no relief from my headaches and after many scans, various doctor's appointments, physical therapy, food diaries, mattress/pillow modifications and exercise, a friend received an advertisement from Dr. Belaga's office and passed it along to me. He was my last hope, I wanted to give up. I called, made the appointment and was greeted by friendly staff and a caring and compassionate doctor. He listened intently and determined where my headaches where coming from and gave me Botox shots in the shoulder, neck and forehead. Within days I could see light at the end of the tunnel, relief was on it way. HEADACHES vanished!!! He set up a treatment plan to see him every 3 months for additional shots in the same area. This was my second visit and what a blessing.. Thank you Dr. Belaga for being there when I needed you.

I have suffered from migraines since childhood and promise you, have sought treatment from THE BEST headache specialists in this country. There is nothing I haven't tried, except Botox. My headache specialist in PA, told me to give it a whirl. I found Dr. Belaga, and immediately LOVED him. Not only is he a skilled Neurologist, but he is articulate, understands the sensitive nature of this disease state (doesn't think we are crazy and should just go for a psych evaluation), and has a bedside manner that most MD's could learn from!

Blake C., San Francisco, CA"Fantastic! Dr. Belaga is a miracle migraine worker."
