An Advanced Level of Care within the Synergy Headache Treatment Continuum
At Synergy Integrative Headache Center, our mission is to provide the most advanced, individualized, and effective care for patients suffering from headache and migraine disorders. To expand our ability to treat the most complex cases, we now offer an advanced Comprehensive Inpatient Headache Program — a hospital-based extension of our clinical services, designed exclusively for patients of our clinic who require a higher level of therapeutic intervention.
This program is not a separate third-party facility—it is a direct extension of our treatment model. Every inpatient admission is coordinated through our clinic, every treatment plan is created by our clinical team, and every aspect of care during the hospital stay is supervised and managed by our providers.
A Seamless Extension of Your Care Through Synergy
Patients are first evaluated in our outpatient clinic, where we conduct a detailed assessment and determine whether inpatient care is appropriate. For those who qualify, our team designs a personalized inpatient treatment plan tailored to each patient’s headache type, triggers, neurological profile, and prior treatment response.
Upon admission, patients enter a controlled, therapeutic environment optimized for neurological recovery, where they receive advanced therapies under the direct supervision and daily clinical management of the Synergy clinical team. This ensures true continuity of care—your treatment remains in the hands of the same expert clinicians throughout the entire process.
Following discharge, patients seamlessly transition back to our outpatient clinic, where a customized recovery and prevention plan is implemented to maintain progress and prevent recurrence.
