Headache Care Center is a nationally recognized referral center for clinicians and patients seeking an interdisciplinary and personalized approach to the treatment of all forms of headache. Founded in 1996, Headache Care Center is on the forefront of research, education, and treatment. Staffed with highly qualified national experts in the field of headache, the clinic is a state-of-the-art facility located in Springfield, Missouri.

At Headache Care Center, we believe in treating the person, not just the headache.
Our inter-disciplinary team consists of physicians, nursing, psychology, and physical therapy. All are located on-site, allowing for close communication between staff and with the patient. Team members work together with the patient to develop an individualized treatment plan. Physical and emotional needs are addressed, and treatment is conducted with respect to any other health condition(s) the patient may have. Although Headache Care Center physicians do not provide primary care, their backgrounds give them the expertise to address a variety of health issues that may be a factor in the headache process, and they work in coordination with the patient’s primary care physician to address any general health needs.

Although there is no “cure”, much can be done to gain control over the pain and disability of headache. The physicians and staff at Headache Care Center look forward to the opportunity to teach you how to regain control over the pain and stop headaches from controlling your life.  Call us today for an appointment.

healthcare.

Mission Statement:
Headache Care Center is a health care and research organization dedicated to working in partnership with our patients to move them toward a state of health and wellness through traditional and complementary medicine, education, and self-help measures.

As a life-long migraine sufferer, I had tried many different approaches to managing my headaches and related symptoms. None were effective in helping me deal with the problems a migraine attack would have on my relationships with family, friends, and customers. I began to fear the onset of migraine - never knowing when one would appear and what impact that would have on my day was almost as bad as the actual pain.
I am glad to be a patient of the Headache Care Center. Dr. Cady and his staff have not only given me effective treatments for my migraine attacks, they have educated me on the facets of migraine to help me understand the causes and risk factors of migraine. With this knowledge, I can manage my migraines instead of them managing me, and I can be proactive in my treatments. Thanks to the Headache Care Center, I have turned my fear of migraine into confidence in dealing with this illness.
