About the Headache Clinic
Our consultants pride themselves on caring for their patients, not just treating symptoms.
The categorisation of your headache is key to establishing what further treatment may be required. The categories are:
- primary headache - which are benign and not related to another condition
- secondary headache - which are a result of another condition
Although the cause of headaches may require investigation by a consultant neurologist - it is important to remember that the most common headache by far is primary and therefore, not a serious threat to your health.
The consultant neurologists at Spire Norwich Hospital have established an independent Headache Clinic to offer diagnosis, support and treatment for all headache sufferers.
The service includes:
- consultant-led care thorough assessment and individualised treatment
- rapid access to scanning facilities
- private consultation rooms and personalised care
- no waiting lists
- no GP referral required
- treatment for all, insured or not
