Migraine: Comprehensive Care for Long-Term Relief and Better Quality of Life

Migraines are more than just headaches—they are a neurological condition that can significantly impact your daily life. At our clinic, we specialize in diagnosing and treating migraines using a personalized and holistic approach, helping you regain control and enjoy lasting relief.

What is a Migraine?

A migraine is a complex neurological disorder characterized by intense, throbbing headaches, often accompanied by other debilitating symptoms such as:

• Nausea or vomiting

• Sensitivity to light, sound, or smells

• Aura: Visual or sensory disturbances, such as flashes of light, blind spots, or tingling sensations

• Fatigue or irritability during or after the attack

Migraines can last for hours to days and often interfere with work, school, and daily activities.

Types of Migraines

Migraines come in various forms, including:

• Migraine with Aura: Includes visual, sensory, or speech disturbances before the headache begins.

• Migraine without Aura: The most common type, featuring severe headaches without sensory warnings.

• Chronic Migraine: Occurs 15 or more days per month, with migraine symptoms present on at least 8 days.

• Menstrual Migraine: Linked to hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle.

• Vestibular Migraine: Causes dizziness or vertigo, often without a headache.

When to Seek Help for Migraines

If migraines are frequent, severe, or unresponsive to over-the-counter medications, it’s time to consult a specialist. Warning signs that require immediate medical attention include:

• Sudden, severe headache (“thunderclap headache”)

• Headache with neurological symptoms like weakness, vision loss, or confusion

• New or worsening headaches after age 50
