Pediatric Headache Clinic

Headaches are painful and frustrating – frustrating for your child to not be able to participate in favorite activities and frustrating for parents to watch your child experience pain and discomfort. The team at Phoenix Children’s Headache Clinic is committed to finding answers for your family with services, programs and support designed just for kids.

Our clinic, located in the Barrow Neurological Institute is one of the largest pediatric headache programs in the nation, led by four dedicated board-certified pediatric headache specialists. Each of our staff members is specially trained to meet the unique needs of growing children, including their physical and emotional needs.

For example, we know how difficult it can be for a child to describe their symptoms. So, we use unique methods, such as a pain color chart and age-specific language to connect and engage with kids of all ages.

Our headaches specialists are trained to discover the true cause and the best treatment for children with headaches. Treatment plans are individualized based on your child’s needs, and may include lifestyle management, behavioral services, and medications and/or procedures for headaches.

Diagnosing and managing headaches can be complex. We’re committed to working together – with your child, your family and other specialists at Phoenix Children’s – to get your child back to doing what they do best – being a kid again.

We collaborate with departments and providers on our team to make sure that we’re answering questions, addressing concerns and making sure your child gets the care, support and treatment they need to feel their best.

Phoenix Children’s is committed to improving the care for children who suffer from chronic headaches by seeking new answers for headache care and teaching the next generation of doctors.
