What is a migraine?
A migraine is a neurological condition, not just a bad headache. Attacks often bring throbbing pain with nausea and sensitivity to light and sound, and can last from a few hours to several days.
When headaches happen on 15 or more days a month, it's called chronic migraine. The good news is that there are more effective treatments than ever, and most people can reduce how often and how badly migraines hit.
Common triggers
- Hormone changes, such as periods, perimenopause or birth control
- Sleep that's too short, too long or irregular
- Stress, or the let-down after a stressful stretch
- Skipped meals, dehydration and caffeine changes
- Neck and jaw tension, bright light and strong smells
Four ways we treat migraine, often together
After your assessment, we'll recommend the mix that fits your headache pattern, how often attacks happen and what you've already tried.
Botox for migraine
Small injections around the head and neck reduce how often migraines happen for people with chronic migraine.
- For 15+ headache days a month
- Repeated about every 12 weeks
- Benefit often builds over the first two to three treatments
Nerve blocks
A quick injection of local anaesthetic near nerves at the back of the head can calm a cycle of frequent or stubborn headaches.
- Done in clinic in minutes
- Can break a prolonged migraine cycle
- May be repeated when helpful
Often used alongside other treatments.
Prescription medication
The right medication can stop an attack early, and preventive options can mean fewer migraines overall.
- Fast-acting medication for attacks
- Anti-nausea support
- Daily or monthly preventive options, including newer CGRP treatments
- Guidance to avoid medication-overuse headaches
Prescribed and monitored by your nurse practitioner.
Lifestyle & trigger plan
Small, targeted changes can make every other treatment work better.
- Headache diary to find your pattern
- Sleep, hydration and meal timing
- Hormone-related migraine planning
- Physiotherapy for neck and jaw tension
Built with you and reviewed at follow-ups.
