Migraine is a debilitating condition that has a considerable impact on the quality of life of sufferers. Attacks can leave sufferers completely disabled and unable to carry on everyday activities for up to three days at a time.
If you have two or more of the following symptoms during an attack it is probable that you are suffering from migraine
Neurological disturbances lasting around 15-60 minutes which normally occur before the headache begins; most commonly visual disturbances including blind spots, flashing lights or zig zag patterns; confusion, inability to concentrate, problems with articulation or co- ordination, or tingling, pins and needles or numbness on the affected side. These symptoms, known as aura are most often identified with migraine but in fact only about 10-15% of sufferers experience them. Migraine with aura was formerly known as classic migraine.
Although some people experience aura symptoms only, the attack normally proceeds after a short interval in the same way as migraine without aura, formerly called common migraine, with some or all of the following symptoms:
Intense throbbing headache, often on one side of the head only
Nausea and/or vomiting and/or diarrhoea
Increased sensitivity to light (photophobia)
Increased sensitivity to sounds (phonophobia)
Increased sensitivity to smells (osmophobia)
Some sufferers start to feel “strange” a day or so before an attack. These feelings called “prodrome” are the first signs of an attack.
Personalized treatments are structured to reduce or eliminate the pain and disability associated with migraine attacks.
We feel that the treatments utilized at our clinic are one of the most effective for the treatment of present and future migraines.
Best results are obtained if treatments are of higher frequency initially, although treatment strategies will be customized on an individual case by case basis.
We use state of the art acupuncture needles from Germany to provide safe, effective and painless treatments.
