What Causes a Migraine and How Do We Treat Them?

6/7/2022

 
What Causes a Migraine and How Do We Treat Them? 
June is Migraine Awareness Month, and since a large number of our patients seek treatment for migraines, or from conditions that are causing migraines, we’re taking this opportunity to share some facts on the causes and treatment of this condition. 


If you’re suffering from migraines, it’s important to know that you’re not alone, and you do have treatment options. Because Neurohealth Services specializes in treating patients who’ve been unable to find relief elsewhere, we have experience uncovering factors that may be hindering recovery.

6 Facts About Migraines
  • Migraines are the third most common illness in the world.
  • Migraines are caused by inflammation when blood vessels in the brain become enlarged and press on the nerve fibers around them. 
  • Your nervous system and your metabolic, immune, and digestive systems are all connected, so treating gut dysfunction, infections, vitamin deficiencies, and hormone imbalances can often help reduce the severity and frequency of your migraines. 
  • Migraines triggers include stress, scents, dehydration, and bright lights. Triggers vary from person to person. 
  • Migraines can be a symptom of post-concussion syndrome. If you are experiencing persistent, intense headaches weeks or months after a head injury, we can identify and treat specific areas of the brain in need of treatment.
  • Migraines can also be caused by disorders of the vestibular system, which includes areas of the brain and inner ears.

NeuroHealth’s Migraine Treatment
NeuroHealth’s targeted therapy is designed to treat specific areas of the brain to stimulate cell repair and regrowth, increase circulation, and reduce inflammation. Here are a some of the ways we diagnose and treat migraines: 

  • Blood chemistry analysis can help identify hormone imbalances, vitamin deficiencies, and the markers of inflammation and immune dysfunction that can cause migraines.
  • Identifying inner ear problems or postural misalignments. Migraines that are accompanied by vertigo or motion sensitivity could be a sign of a vestibular dysfunction. Treatments include painless, non-invasive electrical stimulation and laser therapy to stimulate healing.
  • Video Nystagmography (VNG), or eye movement tracking testing, can identify vestibular and oculomotor abnormalities that can cause migraines.
  • Oxygen therapy can reduce inflammation and accelerate healing.
  • Other non-invasive procedures that can relieve pressure on the nerve fibers in the brain, "reset" pain signaling throughout the nervous system, and trigger the release of natural painkillers.

If you’re experiencing symptoms that include persistent, intense migraines and other treatments haven’t been successful, don’t give up hope. Call our supportive staff at (317) 848-6000 for a free consultation and get on the path to recovery today.
