Head Pain
Headaches are probably the most common type of pain. Everyone has a headache now and again, but when your headache just won’t go away, or when it keeps returning (called chronic), you should see a doctor. Pain Management doctors can help with headaches by addressing pain and sensitivity from problems with your neck, as well as your nerves and other parts of the head, using an Interventional Headache Program. If you are experiencing head and neck pain, it is important to see a specialist. A head and neck pain specialist can help to diagnose and treat the source of your pain. Neck pain is a common problem, and can be caused by many different things. A specialist will be able to determine the cause of your neck pain and provide appropriate treatment.
Our Interventional Headache Program offers a variety of procedures to decrease headaches and neck pain (which is closely related to many types of headaches). Our team approach enables us to help you with headaches and facial pain.

Frequently Asked Questions
At Family Spine and Pain Care Institute, we specialize in treating Venice and Port Charlotte residents for neck pain caused by cervical disc herniation and facet joint arthritis. Often, these spinal issues can lead to secondary headaches, affecting patients throughout the Gulf Coast region.
If your headaches originate from your neck, they are called cervicogenic. At our clinics off Tamiami Trail, we use cervical epidural steroid injections and medial branch blocks to target the upper spine, providing relief for Charlotte County patients who haven't found success with traditional migraine medications.
For those in Venice and Nokomis suffering from sharp, shooting pain at the base of the skull, Occipital Nerve Blocks can be highly effective. We also offer SPG blocks and therapeutic Botox for Migraines to help our neighbors manage chronic headache symptoms without invasive surgery.
Chronic neck stiffness and pain often stem from the facet joints. Cervical Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a popular interventional treatment at our Port Charlotte and Venice offices. It provides long-term relief by disabling pain signals from the affected nerves, helping you return to driving and daily activities with ease.
If your neck pain is accompanied by numbness in the arms, dizziness, or frequent debilitating headaches, it is time to consult our specialists. We serve patients from North Port to Punta Gorda, providing the high-precision diagnostic care needed to resolve complex head and neck pain at the source.
