A SYNERGISTIC APPROACH TO CHRONIC HEADACHE PAIN

Dr. Benjamin Taimoorazy, MD is one of a kind. He is the only pain management anesthesiologist in the state of California who is also board certified and sub-specialized in the field of headache medicine by the United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties (UCNS). And his individuality extends beyond the state of California given that he is one of only seven triple board-certified interventional pain management anesthesiologists in North America specializing in pain medicine, headache medicine, and anesthesiology simultaneously.

Taimoorazy’s multi-faceted experience gives him a diverse toolbox of interventions to treat his patients. “I am equipped to assess patients on a completely different level,” says Taimoorazy. “Having knowledge in pain and headache medicine as well as anesthesiology is particularly valuable when I am treating patients who have experienced trauma such as a major head or neck injury resulting in whiplash or traumatic brain injury.”

According to Taimoorazy, these patients require a much higher level of understanding due to the multiple complex issues that can result from physical trauma. Beverly Hills Migraine and Pain Management Institute offers many comprehensive therapeutic options for these chronically painful disorders which can include severe back and neck pain, neuropathy, and headaches.

Steroid injections and nerve blocks are very effective in mitigating pain for many patients and Taimoorazy is particularly well qualified to perform these procedures. “Having extensive knowledge of anatomy gives me the in-depth understanding of the body necessary to locate the source of the pain,” he says. “It is possible to very safely deactivate the nerves that are causing the discomfort,” Taimoorazy explains. “In the past patients would require major invasive surgery to accomplish the same results. We no longer need to distort the anatomy of a patient to relieve their pain. Instead, we can treat them successfully in an outpatient setting.” After treatment, patients resume their normal activity level very quickly in comparison to surgical interventions which require weeks and sometimes months of recovery. “Patients receiving these treatments leave our office and go about their day immediately,” says Taimoorazy.

Patients suffering from headaches will not only find value in Taimoorazy’s cutting-edge, highly advanced therapeutic interventional procedures — they will also benefit from his very own groundbreaking migraine and headache nutritional supplement, MiGuard. Formulated with compounds that are proven effective in relieving headache pain including feverfew, vitamin B2, ginger, alpha-lipoid acid, magnesium, and coenzyme Q10, this all-natural, vegan, organic, and non-GMO supplement helps many patients manage post-concussive or TBI headache pain “Many of my patients who were suffering from headaches did not want to take prescription medications due to the side effects,” says Taimoorazy. “I saw a need for an all-natural product to help them.”

The compounds in MiGuard have been studied extensively for their effectiveness in alleviating headache pain resulting in a robust amount of research literature including a double-blind study conducted by the American Academy of Neurology. “The results of these studies were astonishingly good,” says Taimoorazy. “MiGuard’s formulation is backed by this research and the synergistic effects of these natural compounds.” MiGuard can also have a positive effect on overall brain health making it a great addition to your vitamin regimen even if headaches are not a concern.

Beverly Hills Migraine and Pain Management Institute also offers ketamine infusions. Ketamine is an FDA-approved anesthetic that’s been widely used around the world for more than five decades. While ketamine isn’t considered a first-line therapy for chronic pain, it can be used off-label to treat severe cases that have not responded to conventional medication or therapies. Ketamine infusions can work very quickly — often within hours — and can also help to treat symptoms of depression and PTSD which are often present in patients who have a traumatic brain injury. Scientists have been studying this compound’s fast-acting antidepressant properties for years. “The ketamine infusion treatment only takes an hour to administer and the patient begins feeling the effects quickly,” says Taimoorazy. “It’s a very simple and effective treatment.”

Beverly Hills Migraine and Pain Management Institute aims to decrease the subjective pain experience, increase the general level of activity, decrease drug consumption, and help patients return to employment and optimal quality of life.
