Migraine and Headache Treatment in Wakad and Hinjewadi | Pain Specialist
Dr. Pravin Deokate manages migraine and chronic headaches in Wakad and Hinjewadi at Sunshine Ortho Pain Superspeciality Hospital. He treats migraine, tension-type headaches and cervicogenic headaches using preventive medications, nerve block injections and trigger point therapy for patients in Wakad and Hinjewadi.
A throbbing one-sided migraine forcing a person into a dark room is a fundamentally different condition from the tight band-like tension headache at the end of a long Hinjewadi workday. Treating them identically produces poor results. Dr. Pravin Deokate at Sunshine Ortho Pain Superspeciality Hospital on Hinjewadi-Wakad Road approaches headache management with Fellowship-level pain specialist precision.
He distinguishes between primary headache disorders (migraine, tension-type, cluster) and secondary headaches arising from cervical spine problems or medication overuse. Patients whose headaches originate from the neck often also benefit from neck pain treatment, which addresses the cervical source directly. He then selects the appropriate treatment for the specific diagnosis.
