Headaches & Migraines

Headaches are an extremely common condition which can affect the way we function on a daily basis, resulting in inner pain usually around the head. Headaches can often be an underlying symptom for a wide range of conditions and, if not treated effectively, can lead to further issues including migraines.

Usually more severe than headaches, migraines can take the form of throbbing or pulsing in one side of the head and can lead to nausea, vomiting and extreme sensitivity to light or sound. Furthermore, people suffering from migraines can be in pain for days, to the point where it can be debilitating. There are four main stages associated with migraines including:

Prodrome: warning signs including constipation, mood changes, food cravings, neck stiffness, increased thirst and urination, frequent yawning. and further depression help in Perth:
Aura: signs experienced before or during a migraine including visual phenomena, vision loss, pins and needles, weakness or numbness, difficulty speaking, hearing noises or music, uncontrollable jerking or other movements.
Attack: an attack can last between 4 – 72 hours. During this time, you may experience pain on one or both sides of the head, sensitivity to light, sounds, smells or touch, nausea and vomiting, blurred vision and lightheadedness.
Post-drome: this occurs after an attack and can include confusion, moodiness, dizziness, weakness and sensitivity to light and sound.

Headaches & Migraines

It can be difficult to identify the preceding symptoms associated with migraines, especially if this is a condition relatively new to you. If you’re looking for migraine or headache treatment in Perth, the first step is diagnosis. After you have visited your health care professional and eliminated other alternates, they may recommend a wide variety of treatment options including pain relief and preventative medication. These medications may or may not reduce the frequency, severity and duration of your migraine attacks. Although sometimes effective, these treatments aren’t the only option available for those seeking relief from their headaches or migraines. Other therapies include acupuncture, massage or chiropractic therapy, herbs, vitamins and minerals, biofeedback (neurofeedback) and cognitive behavioural therapy. At Synaptic Health, we offer tailored solutions to suit our patients’ needs including neurofeedback, chiropractic, biochemistry and naturopathy for migraine and headache treatment in Perth.

Can Neurotherapy Help Me?

Migraines and headaches can cause serious pain both immediately and over a long period of time. Biofeedback, also known as neurofeedback, could help to alleviate symptoms associated with migraines. By observing brain wave patterns, patients who experience migraines or headaches may be able to train themselves to better manage these symptoms. This brain training method not only aims to stop migraines while they are occurring, but also attempts to prevent their reoccurrence in the future. Although there are a wide range of headache and migraine treatments in Perth, it may be worthwhile considering neurotherapy as an option.
