New Headache Center For Indiana’s Heads
(Note: Today’s post is geared towards American readers. No offence is intended to any non-American readers.)
You lucky ducks near Carmel, Indiana! You might think you don’t have much, but you are just being humble. You now have a brand, spanking new medical center devoted to the treatment of headaches and migraines — the St. Vincent Headache Center. You don’t even need a doctor’s referral to get an appointment.
St. Vincent’s estimates that about 400,000 Hoosiers get chronic headaches or migraines, so they need a place to go to for help. In order to decrease the pain you might still have when you visit St Vincent’s, the complex has been designed with soft lighting and earth tones to help lessen pain and stress. The music is light classical, so no risk of wanting to puncture your own ear drums for hearing Justin Timberlakes’s “SexyBack” for the 50,000,000th time.
But I Don’t Live In Indiana
There are other headache centers in the United States, but they still are few and far inbetween. As I live in the greater Philadelphia area, I can’t help but tout Thomas Jefferson University’s Jefferson Headache Center in one of the most prestigious hospital/medical schools onthe East Coast. Although I’m proud it’s in the Philly area, I pray that I never need to go there, even though my family keeps telling me I should go.
There are also Headache Centers in many major cities, including Houston, Cleveland, Cincinatti (Although it’s gaered more for treating children’s headaches)and New York, the University of Iowa (which technically isn’t a city, excuse me) and yet another in New York.
The webpage of The American Headache Society features a medical professional search engine to help you find treatment. You can also write to them if they know of any headache specialists or neurologists in your area. You should also ask your regular doctor for a headache specialist in the area, too.
But at least there is one less headache in finding a headache specialist in Carmel, Indiana.
