Pys Headache and Pain Clinic

Welcome to Pys headache and pain clinic. Over the past 23 years, I’ve been treating thousands of patients on the North Shore for headache and migraine pain by focusing on the brain stem. I’ll explain more about that in a minute. More than half of my patients come to me suffering from headaches and migraine. And the reason they come to me is simple. They’ve tried just about everything --- nerve blocks, nerve stimulator treatments, Botox and other brain stem blockers trying to relieve their pain. Yet for many they have gotten only temporary relief at best. I believe---and I know from experience---that my approach is better and more effective. It’s called Osteopathic Manual Therapy or OMT. OMT hands-on evaluation and treatment. THERE IS NO SPINAL MANIPULATION AND NO CRACKING OF THE SPINE. OMT is entirely drug free, relatively inexpensive, and far more successful in delivering long term relief. Here’s why: Diagnosing headaches and migraine is a huge challenge and most diagnoses are made based on symptoms and NOT on understanding the underlying causes. Many patients may even get several diagnoses since their headache and migraine symptoms often overlap. However recent medical research [in Europe] has shown that migraine, cluster, menstrual hormonal and tension headaches ALL share a common cause associated with an over-sensitized brain stem. This research indicates that neck or jaw disorders in joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments and discs disorders can be the root cause of headaches and migraines by sensitizing the brain stem even without obvious pain in the neck area. Thus, understanding the cause of your headache and migraine pain is the first step to more effective, long-lasting treatment. My approach starts with hands-on palpation and a clear examination of what’s going on with your specific situation. Depending on the type of issues or injuries you may have, I set clear expectations with you from the beginning. And together we chart a course of treatment aimed at reducing your pain, speeding recovery and promoting healing. So, if results from current treatments of your headaches or migraine are disappointing, please take a moment to consider OMT.
