What kind of doctor treats migraines?
Neurologists are the specialists most commonly trained to diagnose and treat migraines, particularly those with a headache medicine subspecialty. Primary care doctors can also manage migraines, but a neurologist or headache specialist is usually the right referral for frequent, severe, or hard-to-control attacks.
When should I see a specialist for migraines?
Consider seeing a specialist if you're having migraines more than a few times a month, if over-the-counter medication isn't helping, if your headaches are getting worse or changing in character, or if you experience visual aura, numbness, or other neurological symptoms for the first time.
What's the difference between a neurologist and a headache specialist?
A neurologist treats conditions of the brain and nervous system broadly, including migraines. A headache specialist is a neurologist (or sometimes another type of physician) who has completed additional fellowship training specifically in headache medicine, focusing on migraine, cluster headache, and other chronic headache disorders.
How do I prepare for my first appointment with a migraine specialist?
Bring a record of your attack frequency, duration, and typical symptoms, along with any medications you've tried and how well they worked. Noting potential triggers — including weather, sleep, diet, and stress patterns — gives the specialist a much clearer picture to work from. Tools like MigraineCast's Trigger Pattern Analyzer can help you organize this history before your visit.
Will my insurance cover a visit to a headache specialist?
Most insurance plans cover visits to neurologists and headache specialists, though many require a referral from your primary care doctor first. Coverage details vary by plan, so it's worth calling ahead to confirm referral requirements and whether a specific provider is in-network.
