Severe migraines and headaches can negatively impact your daily life. That’s why Wellstar is home to one of Georgia’s most comprehensive centers for treating headaches and migraines. Our experts offer effective treatments to help relieve pain fast.

At the Wellstar Headache Center in Marietta, we are focused on helping you feel better, faster. The facility is designed to make patients as comfortable as possible with special features, such as soothing light and quiet waiting rooms.

A growing number of people have multiple sclerosis (MS), myasthenia gravis, neuropathy, myositis and various neurological conditions that affect the brain. These patients may feel fatigue, have trouble walking, and experience other symptoms related to muscle weakness.
These conditions are caused by inflammation or autoimmunity in the nervous system. While a general neurologist can diagnose these conditions, a neuroimmunologist is a patient’s ultimate choice for treatment.
Neuroimmunologists specialize in immune system disorders, stay current on fast-evolving research, and can offer patients advanced treatments.
At Wellstar, patients are diagnosed and treated by board-certified and fellowship-trained neurologists who specialize in epilepsy. They offer routine and ambulatory outpatient electroencephalography (EEG) testing.
Wellstar is also the only non-academic health system in metro Atlanta to offer long-term video EEG monitoring. That means patients' brain activity can be monitored for an extended period of time for a more accurate diagnosis.
Once diagnosed, patients are fast-tracked to the treatments they need, including diet modification, surgery, latest seizure medications and vagus nerve stimulation (VNS).
