Migraine & Headache
Treatment in Miami

Come in when a headache is severe and not easing with your usual over-the-counter medicine, when a migraine has lasted longer than four hours despite oral medication, when severe nausea is keeping you from holding pills down, when a headache woke you from sleep, or when it is the first severe headache you have had. A board-certified physician leads every shift at TrufaMED, and we can start IV treatment the same day without an appointment.

Go to the emergency room or call 911, not urgent care, for the sudden worst headache of your life or a thunderclap headache that peaks in seconds, a headache with a fever and a stiff neck, a headache after a head injury, a headache with new weakness, vision loss, confusion, or trouble speaking, a new headache after age 50, or a headache in a pregnant patient with high blood pressure. These can signal a stroke, meningitis, a brain bleed, or pre-eclampsia and need emergency imaging right away.

A tension headache feels like a steady band of pressure around the head, is usually mild to moderate, and often follows stress, poor posture, or eye strain. A migraine is more severe, frequently one-sided, and often comes with nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and visual aura. A cluster headache brings sharp, intense pain around one eye in repeated daily bouts, often with a watery eye or runny nostril on the same side. Your physician examines you to tell these apart and treat the specific type you have.

Our acute migraine infusion combines IV magnesium sulfate, a non-opioid anti-inflammatory (ketorolac), an anti-nausea medication, and a one-liter saline carrier to rehydrate you and break the pain. It reaches your bloodstream directly, so most patients report meaningful relief within 30 to 45 minutes of the infusion starting. The full visit runs about 60 to 75 minutes including your evaluation. For a wellness-focused option you can also explore our Pain Relief IV.

A self-pay physician evaluation starts at $195, and pricing is shared up front with no surprise billing. Our Pain Relief IV is $315 and adds a targeted blend of anti-inflammatory medication, magnesium, and B-vitamins. Final cost depends on the medications and services you need. We also accept most major insurance plans, so call (305) 537-6396 to verify your coverage before your visit.

Most headaches do not need imaging. Your physician performs a focused neurological exam and reviews your history, and recommends a CT or MRI only when there are warning features that warrant it. If imaging or a specialist is needed, we coordinate the referral. This careful screening is how we make sure a headache is not pointing to something more serious.

Yes, when dehydration is part of the picture. Dehydration is a common headache trigger in Miami’s heat, and rapid IV rehydration can meaningfully reduce headache severity. Our migraine infusion uses a one-liter saline carrier for exactly this reason. If your headache is driven mainly by fluid loss after heat, illness, or a long flight, our dehydration IV care may be the right fit.

Yes. For patients with frequent migraines, more than four attacks a month, we can start a longer-term prevention plan: daily preventive medication, trigger identification, sleep and hydration coaching, and a regular magnesium-focused or Myers’ Cocktail IV schedule. We can also coordinate with a neurologist for complex or chronic migraine. Concierge members get integrated migraine management as part of their plan.

Yes. We provide pediatric urgent care for children six months and older, including headache and migraine evaluation, with pediatric-sized equipment and physicians experienced with children. We screen carefully for any warning signs and tailor treatment to the child’s age and weight. For infants under six months with a headache concern, we recommend their pediatrician or the pediatric emergency room.

Walk-ins are welcome seven days a week during clinic hours: Monday to Friday 9 AM to 9 PM, Saturday 11 AM to 11 PM, and Sunday 12 PM to 8 PM. You can also check in online ahead of time to spend less time at the front desk. When you are in real pain, the last thing you should have to do is wait weeks for an appointment.
