THE HEADACHE CLINIC CAPE TOWN 

Our Cape Town branch is a satellite clinic that operates three days a week and is run by a Specialist Nurse, trained by Dr Elliot Shevel: Chairman of the Headache Society of Southern Africa. All our investigations have been designed by a team of specialist's to ensure that we find the exact cause of your headaches. Our head office is in Johannesburg and controls all bookings for the Cape Town Clinic.

Complete Diagnosis™ for your Migraine or Headache Includes:

  • Consultation and neurological examination with general practitioner for the purpose of excluding any life threatening illnesses. 
  • X-rays where medically indicated (C-spine, Sinus, TMJ, Pan, Ceph)
  • Electromyography
  • Unlimited consultations with Migraine Specialist Dr Elliot Shevel where necessary (who is based in Johannesburg and travels once a month to Cape Town.)
  • Unlimited consultations and emergency pain relief with our specialist sister for 3 months

For the cost of Complete Diagnosis™, Please Call 0861 678 911 

What is NOT included in the Complete Diagnosis™ ?
  • Brain scans and blood tests are not included because they are almost never necessary, and they are very expensive too. The neurological examination done on you will indicate if the brain scan is necessary or not.
  • The cost of treatment is not included. We can only provide a quotation for treatment once we have accurately diagnosed the cause of your pain.

How does payment for Complete Diagnosis™ work?

  • The diagnosis fee must be paid to us directly and claimed back from your medical aid if you have one.
  • You can use your medical aid to cover the cost of x-rays at diagnosis.
  • You can pay in cash, with a credit /debit card or with a bank guaranteed cheque.  

What about Medical Aid?

  • Except for x-rays, The Headache Clinic will NOT accept medical aid for the payment for Complete Diagnosis™. X-rays CAN be claimed from the medical aid.
  • Once we have made a Complete Diagnosis™, we can contact your medical aid and confirm benefits to help you make an informed treatment decision.
  • The Headache Clinic will not deal with Discovery Health.
