Both office locations →Key Takeaways
- The nearest office is 7751 W. Flamingo Road, Suite A-100, Las Vegas NV 89147.
- A new or severe headache in pregnancy or the weeks after delivery is assessed with a lower threshold than at other times.
- Severe headache in pregnancy with visual change, upper abdominal pain or swelling needs urgent obstetric assessment rather than a neurology appointment.
- Many migraine treatments are unsuitable in pregnancy, so the plan is built around that rather than adapted afterwards.
- Migraine frequently changes during pregnancy, and it commonly changes again afterwards, which is expected rather than concerning.
Headache around pregnancy
Headache is common in this age group and most of it is ordinary migraine. Pregnancy and the period after delivery change both what needs excluding and what can be prescribed, which is why it should be mentioned rather than assumed irrelevant.
What needs urgent assessment elsewhere
A severe or new headache in the second half of pregnancy or the weeks after delivery, particularly with visual change, upper abdominal pain, swelling or high blood pressure, needs urgent obstetric assessment rather than an outpatient neurology appointment. So does the sudden severe headache described elsewhere on this site as a thunderclap presentation, which is an emergency at any time. Neurology contributes after those have been addressed, not instead of them.
Why treatment options narrow
Several standard acute and preventive migraine treatments are unsuitable in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, and some require planning well before conception rather than adjustment during. That is why the conversation is more useful early: a preventive chosen with pregnancy in mind differs from one chosen without, and switching mid-pregnancy is harder than starting appropriately. This applies beyond headache, notably in epilepsy, where medication decisions interact with pregnancy substantially, and in multiple sclerosis, where treatment choices need planning in advance.
What commonly happens to migraine
Migraine frequently improves during pregnancy, particularly after the first months, and it commonly returns afterwards. Both are expected patterns rather than signs of anything wrong, and knowing that in advance makes the return disappointing rather than alarming. Sleep deprivation after a birth is a potent trigger, which means the postpartum period can be worse than the pregnancy, and that is a treatable problem rather than something to absorb.
Adults only
Providence skews toward families with children, and this practice sees patients aged 18 and older. A child or adolescent needs a paediatric neurologist, and the scheduling team will say so on the call. General headache management is on the headache and migraine page.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which office should Providence residents use?
The Las Vegas office at 7751 W. Flamingo Road, Suite A-100. Both offices provide everything, so the choice is about the drive.
I am pregnant and have a severe headache. What should I do?
A severe or new headache in the second half of pregnancy or the weeks after delivery, particularly with visual change, upper abdominal pain, swelling or high blood pressure, needs urgent obstetric assessment rather than an outpatient neurology appointment.
Do migraine treatments change in pregnancy?
Substantially. Several standard acute and preventive treatments are unsuitable in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, and some require planning before conception rather than adjustment during. Raising it early means a preventive can be chosen with that in mind.
Will my migraine change during pregnancy?
It frequently improves, particularly after the first months, and commonly returns afterwards. Both are expected patterns. Sleep deprivation after a birth is a potent trigger, so the postpartum period can be worse than the pregnancy, and that is treatable.
Do you see children?
No. Clinical Neurology Specialists sees patients aged 18 and older. A child or adolescent needs a paediatric neurologist, and the scheduling team will say so on the call.

The office address, suite number and ZIP code come from the practice own published listing. That both laboratories hold AANEM electrodiagnostic accreditation independently, and the absence of imaging, infusion, surgical, paediatric and emergency services, are documented rather than inferred.
