A subspecialty of neurology, headache medicine focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of primary and secondary headache disorders. Sutter Pacific Medical Foundation doctors work closely with the Headache Clinic at California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC) to help patients find relief from headache and migraine pain.
The Headache Clinic team understands that headaches are not only a biological or neurological disorder of the brain, but also a disorder influenced by psychological, social and environmental stressors. Severe headaches, particularly chronic disorders such as migraine, can be highly debilitating, impacting domestic and professional responsibilities and emotional functioning.
