Headaches and Neck Surgery
I am surprised and disheartened by the number of headache patients I see who have had neck fusion surgery. Why am I seeing this? It isn't because the surgery was successful in controlling the headaches! I am always optimistic in treatment outcomes, but I have to admit the history of a failed surgery makes me nervous about results. I have just had such a patient. I am happy to report her results have exceeded any one's expectations. It truly was rewarding to me personally to see the fantastic improvement in her pain level. I guess the bottom line is to explore conservative treatment before any surgery is undertaken.
