June is Migraine Awareness Month—a time to shine a light on a condition that affects millions of Australians. Migraines are much more than “just a headache.” They can be debilitating, impacting work, family life, and overall wellbeing.
At Pivotal Osteopathy, we see firsthand how migraines can disrupt daily routines. Common symptoms include intense throbbing pain (often on one side of the head), sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and difficulty concentrating. For some, migraines are triggered by stress, lack of sleep, certain foods, or changes in routine.
While there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, there are effective ways to help manage and reduce migraine frequency. Here are a few tips:
* Identify Your Triggers: Keeping a diary of your migraines can help you spot patterns and avoid common triggers.
* Prioritise Self-Care: Regular sleep, hydration, balanced meals, and movement can make a real difference.
* Optimise Your Workstation: Poor posture and long hours at a desk can contribute to tension headaches and migraines. Simple ergonomic adjustments can help.
* Seek Professional Support: Osteopathic care can play a role in managing musculoskeletal factors that may contribute to headache and migraine symptoms.
If you or someone you know is struggling with recurring migraines, you’re not alone. Our experienced team at Pivotal Osteopathy is here to offer support, education, and tailored care strategies.
