	Welcome

The Michigan Headache Clinic® is a private neurology practice which specializes in the treatment of adults and adolescents with painful disorders of the head and face. We service all of Michigan, parts of surrounding states and Canada from our East Lansing clinic.

We welcome patients who are referred by primary care and specialists as well as patients who refer themselves.

We are now offering telemedicine visits for our headache patients throughout Michigan.

We have pioneered the use of electronic records since the 1980's and now we are the first headache clinic in Michigan to use telemedicine to manage our established patients. Please click here for details.

Rising healthcare costs for headache patients... we can help.

We are very sensitive to the direct and indirect costs to our patients, especially in this era of increased drug costs and often exorbitant insurance deductibles and co-pays.
