To provide the opportunity for a unique and highly skilled assessment of your headache and migraine, to act with honesty and integrity, and to uphold The Migraineur's Bill of Rights.
Opportunity:
The Melbourne Headache Centre’s location in Melbourne’s CBD provides a central access point for all headache and migraine sufferers in the Greater Melbourne area. Through our Regional Clinics program we aim to extend the reach of the Melbourne Headache Centre throughout Victoria so that all those who wish to be assessed have the choice without the inconvenience of travelling for hours, taking time off work or time away from family.
Unique and highly skilled assessment:
The Melbourne Headache Centre is one of a small number of dedicated headache treatment facilities in Victoria, and the only dedicated clinic providing access to the techniques we employ. This allows great focus on headache and migraine rather than it being mixed in with other conditions. Having used the same techniques in a general practice for several years, Roger O'Toole has seen the difference in results gained in the dedicated facility.
Honesty and Integrity:
The Melbourne Headache Centre prides itself on educating clients every step of the way. You will be very clear what the underlying problem is and what the aim of treatment is. We know we can't help everyone, and we are very clear in the first assessment who we can help and who we can't. Our assessment and treatment techniques allow us to be very precise and predict with 90% accuracy who we can and cannot help. We will not treat those who we believe we cannot help, as we refuse to be part of the "over promise and under-deliver" model that is so commonly presented to our clients.
4. I have the right to be referred to a specialist – for example, a neurologist, a headache specialist or headache clinic if my headaches do not respond to my primary physician’s treatment
5. I have the right to receive specific headache therapy, if needed, instead of non-prescription drugs, narcotics, or combination analgesics that may increase the problem.
You will understand every step of the way what the problem is, what can be done to help and what you need to do to manage it.
