HeadacheMD is a network of licensed practices that employ Dr. Blake's method for the diagnosis and treatment of headaches and neck pain due to nerve compression. These headaches can present as chronic migraine, chronic tension, or cervicogenic headache; targeted medical treatments are often helpful, and for those patients who do not experience reduction, nerve decompression surgery may be necessary.
Dr. Blake has worked closely with plastic surgeon Dr. Carlton Perry, who has operated on hundreds of Dr. Blake's patients, with sustained reduction in headaches experienced in over 75% of patients.
Dr. Blake and Dr. Perry have contributed to scientific research proving the existance of abnormalities on the outside of the head in people with occipital nerve compression.
Dr.Blake personally trains all Headache Medicine physicians located at headacheMD medical practices in the diagnosis and treatment, both non-surgical and surgical, of nerve compression headache.
The goal of the network is to reach more refractory headache patients globally in order to identify headaches due to nerve compression, and, if indicated, to consider the option of surgery, either in Houston with Dr. Perry or with a local, experienced surgeon.
New independently-operated locations are coming soon to bring you the same excellent diagnostic methods and therapeutic treatments that are available at our flagship location in the River Oaks section of Houston, Texas.
Dr. Blake accepts all major insurances.

Complex and Fragile The creation story
This original painting by Isabelle Dupuy portrays structures of the head that are anatomically connected and relevant to headache. The brain and the meninges (the white layer surrounding the brain) respond to emotional and other stimuli that can create pain. The green occipital nerves (which are on the outside of the skull) can also become inflamed and irritated, leading to pain.
Pioneered by Dr. Pamela Blake, many that had chronic headaches have gone on to live a more normal life.
Headaches can be generated by your environment, so Dr. Blake takes considerable time to understand the entire situation.
Dr. Blake and Dr. Perry publish their research, some can be found at headache.zone
