3     3-Dimensional Computer Tomograph scans

4     X-rays where medically indicated (Neck, Sinuses, TM Joint (jaw joint).

5     Orthopantomogram (x-ray of jaws and teeth).

6     Cephalometric analysis (according to Rocabado).

7     Electromyography and other necessary diagnostics.

8     Blood tests.

9     Specialist Nursing Sisters Consultations

10   Emergency Pain Relief.

Once we have the accurate and complete diagnosis of the causes of your migraines or headaches, and of the origin of your pain, an individualised treatment plan is instituted, which targets the underlying cause of your migraine or headache.
