Headaches and migraines can be overwhelming. But you're not alone. We're here for you. At the Diamond Headache Unit, we offer solutions for pain and deliver personalized care when your physical and mental health are affected by these conditions. Our doctors and care teams work together to deliver medication therapies, physical and psychological therapy and other treatment options for you.
The Diamond Headache Unit has a multispecialty approach to headache diagnosis, treatment and management. Our care team includes doctors, nurses, a psychologist, pharmacists, dietitians, physical therapists, recreational therapists and counselors.
Headache and migraine care includes:
- Individualized medication therapy: Based on diagnosis and previous response to therapy. Patients who benefit from multiple medications are closely monitored by the unit's full-time pharmacist.
- Psychological intervention: Patients participate in group therapy sessions. If necessary, individual psychological and psychiatric counseling is also available.
- Biofeedback training: A non-medication therapy that supports mental and physical health and other therapies.
- Physical and activity therapy: Activities may include stress management, relaxation training, art therapy and pet therapy. The goal is to help patients understand the causes of their headaches and available treatments.
- Alternative therapies: Massage therapy and acupuncture complement the treatment program, helping patients relieve stress and tension.
- Detoxification: Medically-supervised withdrawal helps to lessen or eliminate substance dependency. Patients are fully supported throughout the program.
The 43-bed unit is designed to foster a soothing, quiet and welcoming environment. The unit features relaxation and therapy spaces, a biofeedback suite and an incredible view of Lake Michigan.
