NAPLES, FL (June 1, 2005) In response to an increasing prevalence of migraines and severe headaches, Neuroscience & Spine Associates has opened Southwest Florida's first and only Headache Center at 1660 Medical Boulevard in Naples.

"Migraine is a very serious problem affecting adults, particularly women, and children," said headache specialist Michael A. Novak, M.D. "Headache clinics in New England, Chicago and nationwide are dedicated to clinical study, diagnosis and treatment of this condition and we definitely need the same resources here in Southwest Florida."

Dr. Novak has implemented the model for The Headache Center by establishing procedures for complete headache evaluation and diagnosis. His staff will address migraines with a customized treatment plan for each patient that can include a combination of drug therapy, nutrition counseling and lifestyle programs. A medical evaluation will determine the patient's triggers for migraine, which can include stress, hormones, sleep disorders, weather changes or food sensitivity.

A unique feature of The Headache Center is the emergency migraine clinic: a therapist is available during office hours, evenings and weekends to see the patient at the very first onset of symptoms.

"We have treated patients with migraine or chronic headache pain for years," said Dr. Novak. "The Headache Center will focus specifically on this problem and serve as a resource for those who are suffering and seeking relief."

Dr. Novak is a diplomate of the American Board of Neurology and Psychology with a specialty in headache and migraine.

Neuroscience & Spine Associates is a Southwest Florida practice comprised of 12 neurologists and neurosurgeons with five locations in Naples, Fort Myers and Port Charlotte, and an MRI Center in Naples.
