Headaches and migraines disrupt work, family time, sleep, and exercise. At Next Level Concierge Care in Scottsdale, AZ, our Headache Specialty Care blends neurology, functional medicine, and genomics inside a true concierge model—so we can identify root causes, act early, and support you between flares for lasting relief.
Why Headache Care Belongs Inside Concierge Medicine
Migraine and chronic headache are multi-factor conditions. Triggers live across sleep, hormones, environment, stress physiology, neck/jaw mechanics, vascular health, and nutrition. Solving them requires time, testing, and real follow-through. Our Concierge Care membership keeps the patient panel limited—so your visits are unhurried, your plan is personalized, and virtual check-ins keep momentum when life gets busy.
Concierge advantages: direct physician access, priority scheduling, coordinated referrals, and secure Virtual Care for rapid adjustments during a flare.
Our Integrative Headache Method
1) Precise Diagnosis & Differentiation
We clarify migraine subtypes, tension-type, cervicogenic (neck-driven), medication overuse, and mixed patterns. Accurate diagnosis informs the right sequence of care.
2) Functional Drivers & Biomarkers
We assess sleep architecture, iron/ferritin, thyroid patterns, inflammation, histamine load, glucose stability, and gut-immune factors. Data guides root-cause strategies that reduce attack frequency and intensity.
3) Genomics-Informed Personalization
Select genomic insights (e.g., detox, methylation, vascular tone) can shape nutrition, supplements, and medication choices to improve tolerability and outcomes.
4) The BEST of Both: Integrative + Traditional
Preventives and acute meds are integrated with lifestyle, nutrition, hydration/electrolytes, magnesium/riboflavin/coQ10 (as appropriate), mindfulness/biofeedback, and neck/jaw mechanics—coordinated via our Private Medicine access when needed.
When Advanced Imaging or Screening Helps
Most headaches don’t require imaging. But red flags or atypical patterns may prompt targeted studies. Within our prevention-first model, some patients also choose proactive screening for a broader health context: Whole Body MRI (non-invasive structural overview) and Galleri multi-cancer blood test (additional early detection layer).
