The Headache Center at the
Kennedy Health Alliance
offers personalized care and treatment options
provided by nationally renowned headache
specialist Loretta Mueller, D.O., FACOFP.
Dr. Mueller has devoted more than 20 years of her
professional career to the diagnosis and treatment
of all types of headaches, ranging from mild and
nagging to severe and debilitating.
Some headache types commonly treated by
Dr. Mueller at the KHA Headache Center include:
• Migraine Headaches
• Migraine with Aura
• Menstrual Migraine
• Chronic Migraine
• Tension-type Headaches
• Cluster Headaches
• Chronic Daily Headaches
• New Daily Persistent Headache
• Post-concussive or Post-traumatic Headaches
• Headaches in Teenagers
Dr. Mueller also addresses other conditions
commonly seen in headache patients, such as:
• Chronic pain from the back, neck or fibromyalgia
• Psychiatric conditions, including depression,
generalized anxiety, or panic disorder
• Gastrointestinal conditions, such as irritable
bowel, gluten sensitivity, or gastroparesis
• Gynecologic conditions, such as menstrualrelated issues or menopausal symptoms.
Dr. Mueller carefully assesses the appropriateness of
headache medications that can aid both conditions,
without causing medication interactions.
With her extensive background in clinical trials, research
and education, Dr. Mueller is well-versed in the latest
medical treatment options. Patient education about
headache causes, trigger identification and avoidance,
non-medicinal strategies, and treatment options is a key
component of care. Dr. Mueller also collaborates with
her patients, taking into consideration their preferences
and lifestyle when recommending treatments.
Dr. Mueller provides medication treatment that optimizes
early, effective, and consistent headache relief – with a
quick return to full-functioning, lack-of-pain recurrence
and minimal side effects. For frequent or hard-to-treat
headaches, a daily preventive medication may reduce
headache frequency and/or severity. Dr. Mueller views
treatment as a dynamic, fluid process with ongoing
evaluations and medication adjustments.
Whether you get rare, incapacitating headaches or
frequent, annoying headaches, it’s worth getting a proper
diagnosis and an effective treatment plan through The
Headache Center at the Kennedy Health Alliance. Visit
