Migraine urgent care in Springfield

Same-day assessment and treatment of acute migraine attacks — including anti-emetics, analgesia and IV fluids where clinically appropriate.

Quick answer
A sudden, severe, worst-ever headache; headache with fever, neck stiffness, confusion, weakness or vision loss; or headache after head injury is not a migraine until proven otherwise. Call 000 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department.

  • Focused neurological assessment and red-flag screening
