Children's Mercy Headache Relief Clinic

Children's Mercy Headache Relief Clinic, located at 20300 East Valley View Parkway, Blue Springs, Missouri, United States, is a specialized health institution dedicated to providing relief and care for children and teenagers suffering from frequent or persistent headaches. With over 40,000 children in the Kansas City metro area experiencing moderate-to-severe headaches, the clinic offers intensive services to help manage and reduce headache pain.

The clinic's Headache Program consists of a team of headache specialists, including doctors, nurse practitioners, and nurses, who work with families to create personalized treatment plans tailored to each child's needs. Family involvement is crucial in the care process, and the clinic strives to partner with parents to ensure successful outcomes.

During the initial appointment, which lasts about 40 minutes, a headache-trained specialist will evaluate the child's medical history and assess the impact of headaches on their daily life. Treatment plans are based on evidence-based therapies and do not include opioid pain medications, as research has shown potential risks associated with their use.

Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment plan and make adjustments as needed. In cases where additional services are required, the clinic offers a Comprehensive Headache Clinic team consisting of a physician, pain psychologist, and social worker to address complex headache cases.

Children's Mercy Headache Relief Clinic has been recognized for excellence in nursing with Magnet Designation and has been voted one of America's best children's hospitals by U.S. News & World Report. Your support as a charitable organization helps bring hope and comfort to children and their families in need of headache relief.
