A migraine is not “just a headache” \u2014 anyone who lives with them knows: violent pulsing, nausea, light sensitivity, hours or days lost. Migraine care is multidisciplinary, and our role is the component medication does not reach: the neck, posture and muscle tension that trigger or amplify attacks.<\/p>\n

What is migraine?<\/h2>\n

Migraine is a neurological condition with episodes of pulsating, typically one-sided, moderate-to-severe pain, worse with activity, often with nausea and sensitivity to light and sound. Diagnosis and medication belong with a neurologist. What research also shows: cervical dysfunction and trigger points are common in migraine patients and can act as triggers or amplifiers.<\/p>\n

Where we can help<\/h2>\n

The musculoskeletal component: neck tension preceding attacks, trigger points in the trapezius and suboccipitals sustaining pain, forward-head posture, jaw clenching and TMJ tension \u2014 plus cervicogenic headache, often confused with or overlapping migraine.<\/p>\n

Common triggers<\/h2>\n

Stress and the sudden relaxation after it, irregular sleep, long screen hours with a flexed neck, dehydration, certain foods and hormonal changes. A trigger diary remains one of the most useful tools \u2014 we help you structure one.<\/p>\n

What does the evidence say?<\/h2>\n

Manual therapy and exercise do not “cure” migraine \u2014 but in patients with a significant neck component they can reduce attack frequency and intensity and improve response to medical treatment. We promise exactly as much as the evidence supports.<\/p>\n

How we work at Medicine Park<\/h2>\n

We assess your cervical spine, muscles and postural patterns, differentiate migraine from cervicogenic headache, and build the plan: cervical manual therapy, dry needling, postural exercise, screen and sleep hygiene \u2014 alongside your neurological treatment, never instead of it. All in English.<\/p>\n

How long until results?<\/h2>\n

Patients with a significant cervical component typically notice fewer episodes within 4\u20138 weeks. Progress is measured with your attack diary.<\/p>\n

When to seek help<\/h2>\n

If migraines come with neck tension, start from the neck area, or painkillers have become routine \u2014 the assessment is worth doing. A sudden thunderclap headache, fever or new neurological symptoms are a medical emergency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
