Physical Examination - Eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, and skin inspection for allergic signs.

Personalized Testing Plan - Decide on necessary tests (skin, blood, lung function, imaging) for diagnosis and tailored treatment. Skin testing is one of the most common and accurate methods used to identify allergic triggers. Skin testing involves introducing a small amount of allergen just under the skin surface by pricking the skin with a drop of the allergen extract. The prick tests are done with a sterile, disposable plastic prick test device that looks like a small toothpick.  The sensation is generally not uncomfortable; if the patient is allergic to the substance, itching of a mild to moderate degree may be experienced.

Our headache specialist will conduct a comprehensive review of your detailed headache history based on the intake forms you completed. This in-depth evaluation is crucial for accurately diagnosing whether you are experiencing tension headaches or migraines. Your specialist will ask about the frequency, location, and specific qualities of your headache pain, as well as associated symptoms like nausea, light/sound sensitivity, and if any triggers can be identified. They will also discuss how these headaches impact your daily functioning and any past treatments you've tried.

Based on the type of headache you are experiencing, the headache specialist will determine treatment for prevention. This often includes the use of injectable biologics, which can be received in our clinics and tend to happen monthly or twice a month.  

At your appointment, a lung function test (known as spirometry) is conducted to measure airway obstruction and response to treatment with a bronchodilator. Staff can coach children as young as 5 to do reliable spirometry. These lung function tests are important in making the initial diagnosis of asthma, determining the severity, and allowing providers to determine the best course of action for management.  

Treatment for asthma can vary depending on the severity and previous treatments. Management could include an inhaler, a long-term medication, or injectable biologics on a monthly basis to control asthma.
