Learn More About Our Virtual Headache Clinic
Your first appointment is focused on understanding you and your headaches.
During your visit, we'll discuss:
- Your symptoms and headache history.
- How headaches affect your work, home life and daily activities.
- Potential triggers, such as sleep habits, stress, hormones, medication over usage, hydration and diet.
- Previous treatments you've tried.
- Your goals for treatment.
Using this information, we'll create a personalized plan designed to help you better manage headaches and migraines over time.
No two headaches are exactly alike.
That's why Dr. Potter takes time to understand each patient's symptoms, health history, lifestyle and goals before creating a treatment plan.
Education is a key part of headache care. During your visits, you'll learn more about your headaches, potential triggers and strategies that may help reduce the frequency and severity of symptoms.
Many patients have lived with headaches or migraines for years without fully understanding what may be contributing to their symptoms. Learning more about headache disorders, identifying patterns and recognizing potential triggers can be an important step toward finding lasting relief.
Depending on your needs, your treatment plan may include:
- Lifestyle recommendations focused on factors such as sleep, hydration, nutrition, stress management and physical activity.
- Traditional headache medications and newer treatment options.
- FDA-approved headache treatment devices when appropriate, including non-medication options that may help manage symptoms.
- Referrals for services such as physical therapy and other supportive treatments.
- Ongoing guidance and education to help you better understand and manage your condition.
Our goal is not only to help relieve symptoms, but also to empower you with the knowledge and tools needed to take an active role in your headache care.
Virtual headache care may be a good option if you:
- Are aged 18 and over and experience frequent headaches or migraines.
- Have headaches that interfere with work, school, family life or activities.

- Prefer the convenience of receiving care from home.
- Need ongoing support to manage a chronic headache condition.
