Headaches and Neurological Symptoms
- Frequent migraines or unexplained numbness? Clinique Praxis helps you quickly evaluate and treat your headaches and neurological symptoms with specialized care.
Effective care for Headaches and Neurological Symptoms
Recurring headaches and neurological symptoms—whether they manifest as debilitating migraines, vertigo, or numbness—can significantly impact your concentration and quality of life. These discomforts require prompt medical attention to identify the underlying cause and limit complications. At Clinique Praxis, we offer specialized care including rigorous clinical evaluation and tailored treatments designed to relieve your symptoms and help you regain your well-being.
Using a holistic approach, our professionals assess the nature and severity of your symptoms based on medical best practices. Proposed treatment plans—such as targeted medication, lifestyle management, or referrals for imaging—are personalized to your needs. Whether you suffer from a tension headache requiring ergonomic advice and basic relief, or more complex neurological symptoms requiring in-depth investigation, we ensure diligent follow-up to optimize your relief and restore your peace of mind.
Examples of Symptoms We Treat
Migraine
Intense, pulsating headaches, often accompanied by nausea and sensitivity to light or noise, which interfere with daily functioning.
Mild Concussion
Symptoms such as headaches, confusion, or concentration problems occurring after a blow to the head or head trauma.
Numbness and Tingling
A loss of sensation or a “pins and needles” feeling in the hands, feet, or other limbs, which may indicate nerve compression.
Vertigo and Dizziness
A sensation of imbalance or lightheadedness that can occur during position changes or spontaneously, requiring medical evaluation.
Tension Headache
A sensation of constant tightening or pressure around the head, often caused by stress, fatigue, or poor posture.
Neuralgia
Sharp, shooting, or stabbing pain, often localized along a specific nerve, such as in the face (trigeminal neuralgia).
Unexplained Muscle Weakness
A sudden or gradual loss of strength in a limb that requires neurological evaluation to determine its origin.
Frequently asked questions about headaches and neurological symptoms
A sudden headache of extreme and unusual intensity, or one accompanied by fever, confusion, stiff neck, or vision disturbances, requires immediate medical attention. For recurring headaches that are not relieved by over-the-counter medication and interfere with your daily activities, a consultation is essential for an accurate diagnosis and a preventive treatment plan.

What should I do if I feel unexplained numbness or weakness?
A tension headache is generally characterized by a diffuse pain, like a tight band around the head, often linked to stress, fatigue, or muscle tension in the neck. A migraine, on the other hand, causes more severe and pulsating pain, often on only one side of the head. It is frequently accompanied by other debilitating symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or an increased sensitivity to light and noise.
Following a complete clinical evaluation (questionnaire and physical exam), our professionals will determine if additional tests are necessary. We offer on-site blood sampling to rule out certain metabolic causes. If your condition requires medical imaging (such as a CT scan or MRI) or a neurologist’s opinion, we will provide the necessary referrals and quickly guide you to the right resources.
No, no medical referral is required. You can book an appointment directly with our team of professionals. We will handle the initial evaluation of your neurological symptoms or headaches starting from your very first visit.
Yes, we evaluate and provide follow-up care for mild concussions. After a blow to the head, it is crucial to consult a professional to ensure there are no complications and to obtain a strict medical protocol for a gradual return to activities (both intellectual and physical) to avoid long-term effects.
Warning: The sudden onset of numbness, weakness on one side of the body, or difficulty speaking can be a sign of a serious medical emergency (such as a stroke) and requires calling 911 immediately. However, for gradual or chronic numbness, or symptoms related to posture (such as tingling in the hands or legs that may indicate a pinched nerve), our professionals can safely evaluate you at the clinic.
