Not all headaches are the same. Some originate from nerves, joints, or muscles in the neck. Interventional pain specialists can help identify these sources and offer targeted treatments alongside therapy and lifestyle strategies. A balanced approach focuses on reducing pain while improving daily function — without relying solely on medications.

Call 740.393.9866 today to schedule a consultation about headache treatment options.

"Lisa is an extraordinary nurse and manager. Her kind heart makes her one of the best. She always goes above and beyond for all her patients and staff. I have only witnessed her show compassion, patience, and kindness towards every patient that she has had an interaction with. One day, she walked me through the surgery paperwork as a patient, taking her time and answering all my questions thoroughly. She made me feel more at ease about the entire thing. Lisa is A shining light on the hard days, and I couldn't think of anyone who deserves this award more than her."

"I would like to take a moment to acknowledge one of your outstanding nurses who recently provided care to my mother. Abby delivered exceptional care to my mother, showcasing her nursing expertise and demonstrating a high level of professionalism. Her communication skills were exemplary, always making herself available to address our questions and concerns, providing empathy, and displaying compassion in all her interactions.

Critical thinking skills are essential, and she effectively utilized these skills, which is a rare attribute. She even assisted the aide with repositioning my mother in bed and changing her linens as needed.

Moreover, she never displayed a superiority complex. In light of this, our family would like to nominate this Nurse for the Daisy Nurse Award."
