Nerve blocks & Botox injections

Peripheral nerve blocks are offered to selected patients with headache disorders and can be performed at the time of your consultation. 

Botulinum Toxin (Botox) injections are offered to patients with chronic headache disorders such as migraine. We use the PREEMPT injection procotol which requires at least 155 units of botulinum toxin (not dysport botox). Botox for headache is currently not funded by insurance companies.

Whether these options are suitable for you will be discussed at the time of your consultation.
