June is Migraine Awareness Month, so it’s the perfect time to shed some light on the advanced tools we use to treat this condition. If you’ve found us because you’re suffering from migraines or post-traumatic headaches as a result of an accident or injury, we hope to provide you with a path to relief. Let’s explore how we can help improve your quality of life.
Migraines Vs. Headaches Migraines are more than just severe headaches; they are a neurological condition characterized by intense, throbbing pain, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Migraines can significantly impact daily life, making effective management crucial. Post-traumatic headaches can happen as a result of post-concussion syndrome (PCS) following a car accident or other head trauma. These headaches can resemble migraines or tension-type headaches and may persist long after the initial injury, leading to chronic pain and other complications. Functional Neurology Treatment for Migraines A thorough evaluation is the first step in functional neurology treatment. This often includes a Discovery Day, in which we evaluate factors including your family and personal medical history, brain function, movement tracking, dynamic posture, balance, coordination, nutrition, blood chemistry, and other factors that can help or hinder your recovery. Following your evaluation, the care team at Neurohealth will develop a treatment plan designed to restore cognitive function and reduce the severity or frequency of your symptoms, allowing you to return to your daily routines and activities. Treatment may include:
During Migraine Awareness Month, it’s important to recognize the innovative and holistic approaches that functional neurology offers for treating ongoing headaches and migraine symptoms.
