A pathway to a better life with less pain
Improving the lives of headache patients through compassionate care, education, and research
Pennsylvania Headache Center (PHC) is a non-narcotic headache center where the focus is completely patient-centric. PHC was founded by neurologist Dr. B. Lee Peterlin, who is headache medicine certified by the United Council of Neurological Subspecialties (UCNS). PHC uses a direct pay model, which is a revolutionary healthcare model that allows patients to pay physicians directly for their treatments and care. In doing so, insurance companies are taken out of the billing process and, therefore, cannot dictate the way in which you receive your care.
At PHC, Dr. Peterlin strives to improve the lives of headache patients through compassionate care, education, and research. She treats all types of headache including migraine, cluster headache, post-traumatic headache, neuralgias, and other headache disorders, using both pharmaceutical and evidence-based non-pharmaceutical therapies. Some of the special in-office procedures we perform include Botox administration and nerve blocks. Dr. Peterlin is passionate about offering her patients headache care that will change their lives. Call us today and make an appointment to start your journey on a pathway to a life with less pain. 717-745-6223
“My migraines were absolutely debilitating before I met Dr. Peterlin, who put me on a treatment plan that has worked miracles in my life! Her approach to treatment is very proactive and preventative. As a full-time nurse and mother, you can imagine this has been a real game changer for me and my family.”

“Dr. Peterlin changed my life! I’ve struggled with severe migraines for almost 20 years, trying every medication available and ended up in the emergency room regularly because of the migraines. I struggled with depression, fear of leaving home and social withdrawal. After finding Dr. Peterlin and the Pennsylvania Headache Center, my migraines are finally under control and manageable. I feel like I can finally live my life again!”

Mission and Vision
To improve the lives of headache patients through compassionate care, education, and research.
To support research and continued medical education to better treat our patients using evidence based medicine (EMB*) as defined in the British Medical Journal in 1996 by Sackett and colleagues.
*Note: EMB is "the judicious use of the best current evidence in making decisions about the individual patient. The practice of EBM means integrating clinical expertise with the best available external clinical evidence from systematic research." -Sackett et al (BMJ 1996)
