A Consultation Equals Questions, Answers, and a Plan.
Headaches are one of the most common reasons people visit a neurologist. There are several causes of headaches, ranging from minor migraines to more serious headaches like bleeding or clots in the brain.
Living with headaches can affect every part of your life. They interfere with work, relationships, and personal well-being. A consultation with Dr. Saad Kanaan is where relief begins; it is the starting point for identifying the cause of your headaches and planning an effective treatment.
What a Consultation Involves
Dr. Kanaan will:
- Ask you to fill out a short questionnaire about your headaches
- Listen carefully to your medical history, symptoms, and triggers
- Review any previous treatments you’ve tried
- Perform a detailed neurological exam to ensure no detail is overlooked
Comprehensive Headache & Neurology Assessment
Accurate diagnosis is essential for successful treatment. Dr. Kanaan uses a structured assessment process that includes the most advanced diagnostic tools and imaging you won’t find anywhere else. This process is designed to identify the root cause of your headaches and guide the most effective treatment plan.
A Personalized Approach to Complex Headaches
Accurate diagnosis = effective treatment.
Dr. Kanaan uses advanced tools and brain imaging when needed to identify the root cause of your pain. This thorough approach helps him design a treatment plan tailored specifically to you.
A Personalized Plan for Every Patient
No two headaches are the same. Triggers, severity, and response to treatments vary widely. That’s why Dr. Kanaan creates an individualized plan for every patient. Conditions he evaluates:
- Migraine (chronic or episodic)
- Tension-type or cluster headaches
- Post-concussive headaches
- Facial pain syndromes (including trigeminal neuralgia)
- Headaches linked to jaw clenching or teeth grinding
- Other rare or treatment-resistant headache disorders
From Consultation to Treatment
Following the assessment, Dr. Kanaan explains his findings in clear, straightforward terms. He outlines treatment options that may include lifestyle changes, physical therapy, medications, Botox injections for chronic migraine, occipital or trigeminal nerve blocks or trigger point injections. Recommendations are based on medically proven methods aimed at reducing pain and improving quality of life.
