At the Headache and Migraine Centre, we are bringing you our best management tips for Headache and Migraine relief.

3 Good Nutrition

Improve Nutrition and reduce Migraines....

It's surprising to realise how important the nutritional balance is for Headache and Migraine patients.
Some foods trigger a Migraine, other food cravings can be a prodromal sign of a Migraine attack, other foods comfort us during an attack.

Following a diet high in nutritional value is recommended, as these food contain vitamins and minerals that play important roles in controlling inflammation, modulating blood pressure, and maintaining homeostasis.

Avoiding refined carbohydrates and sugar in your diet keep your blood sugar levels balanced and can avoid a Migraine attack.
Focus your food intake to include more colourful vegetables, oily fish and healthy fats like avocado.

At the Headache and Migraine centre we recognise that Headache and Migraine disorders are complex and unique to the individual.

We work with our patients to provide the best Headache and Migraine solutions.

Our extensive examination of the neck (Cervical spine) is performed using the Watson Approach, and the treatment and management program that follows is designed to achieve the best patient outcome.

The Watson Approach is the key to diagnosing the link between the upper neck and Migraines.
We work with patients everyday and provide nutritional care that can relieve and prevent Headaches and Migraines.

# Tip 2 - GOOD SLEEP

Good Sleep and reducing Migraine go hand in hand.
Advancing scientific research reveals a strong connection between poor sleep habits and Migraine. Migraine patients consistently present with poor sleep habits.

The combination of what is happening during the Migraine attack can interrupt sleep, and/or poor sleep that can trigger more attacks.

This often leads to a cycle that can't be broken - Migraine attack - no sleep - Migraine attack and so on.

It is imperative to help Migraine patients improve their sleep patterns as part of a broader Migraine management plan.

At the Headache and Migraine centre we spend 90 minutes with every new patient to explore lifestyle factors and identify unhealthy sleep patterns.

Understanding the number of hours slept, if there are any disruptions during sleep (pet in the bed, child waking them up), what hours of the day they sleep, and if they have difficulty falling asleep, are all key questions that are explored.

We then work together to provide Healthy Sleep Plans.
Book an appointment now to see how one of our practitioners can help unravel your unhealthy sleep patterns and help you to start sleeping soundly.

# TIP 1 - GOOD POSTURE

Posture and Migraines...

Improve Posture and reduce Migraines...

By learning how to correct your posture you can still work and use the devices you love without getting a migraine.

The Watson Approach is the key to diagnosing the link between the upper neck and Migraines. We work with posture correction everyday and can show Headache and Migraine patients how simple postural adjustments can relieve and prevent Headaches and Migraines.

Our extensive examination of the neck (Cervical spine) is performed using the Watson Approach, and the treatment and management program that follows is designed to achieve the best patient outcome.

Migraine in Children is real...

It's time to let children do what they do best - Laugh and Play.

It can be heart breaking for parents watching a child suffer with Migraine, and a diagnosis is often made from the age of six when the child can communicate on a better level with the medical team.

At any age however, Migraine is often misdiagnosed and both the parent and child is left alone to suffer the Migraine attack.

Children can experience head pain (in Classic Migraine) or tummy pain in Abdominal Migraine (pain in the abdomen), or Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome (recurrent episodes of vomiting).

New research has found a link in young babies between Colic and Migraine.

For more information about this link and Migraine in babies, infants, young children and teenagers contact the clinic today.

At the Headache and Migraine Centre we treat Headache and Migraine patients of all ages, including kids who suffer with Classic Migraine, Abdominal Migraine and Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome.

Migraine and Teenager's...

High school students need to be free from Migraine attacks. The pressure is on to complete tasks and exams, and do well throughout the whole year.

And with the school year in full swing for all students, it's now more important than ever to be Migraine Free.

A Migraine attack can interrupt study with severe pain, nausea, vomiting, aura, visual loss and more, and can cause a cascade of additional problems, including a loss of precious study time, brain fog, memory loss and a migraine hangover that can last days.

The academic impact of Migraine is often of primary concern, however, the social impact of Migraine is just as significant.
Migraine is one of the most socially misunderstood disorders due to the often unseen symptoms.

At the Headache and Migraine Centre we use the Watson Approach to provide safe and effective, drug free Headache and Migraine solutions for all age groups including teenager's.

We provide each patient with home based strategies to get through the exam window and beyond Migraine free.

Vestibular Migraine ....

More that just dizziness!

Vestibular Migraine is a type of Migraine characterized by dizziness, vertigo and balance disturbance in combination with more typical migraine symptoms. Attacks are severe and debilitating.

“Vestibular” references a part of the inner ear called the vestibule, which affects your sense of balance.

A correct diagnosis is essential, especially when Vestibular Migraine is often misdiagnosed.

Look out for the following, that often points to a diagnosis of Vestibular Migraine:
*Vestibular symptoms that last 5 minutes to 72 hours

*Dizziness that can be categorised as Vertigo

*Underlying Migraine or Chronic Migraine (with and without aura)

*At least one of these symptoms during a Migraine attack:
unilateral location of pain, pulsating quality of pain that is moderate/severe intensity, pain can be aggravated by physical activity, photophobia and phonophobia or sensitivity to light and sound, and a visual aura.

At the Headache and Migraine Centre we work with all types of Headache and Migraine, including Vestibular Migraine. The Watson Approach is used to provide solutions for Vestibular Migraine.

Migraine and Stress...

Stress is experienced at different times and with different triggers, and then dealing with stress occurs in an individual way.
However, for Migraine patient's, an increase in attacks is common when under stress.

Stress can trigger a Migraine attack before, during, but most often, after an event.

Stress is an unavoidable part of life that triggers a fight or flight response in our brain. During times of stress, corticosteroid hormones are released in our brain, which can block pain.

After a stressful event, the corticosteroid hormones drop, leaving our brain vulnerable to a Migraine attack.

When situations arrive and stress levels increase, try to use these strategie's to reduce the chance of a Migraine attack:-

*Regular relaxation breaks during a stressful or busy time, even very short ones, can keep your stress hormones from yo-yoing and can protect against stress-related Migraine.

*60 seconds of watching a funny video can release oxytocin and other calming hormones. This can protect against stress-related Migraine.

*Increases in physical activity, like exercise, can be beneficial.
Getting some fresh air by walking, or even walking up and down a couple of flights of stairs, while it may sound activating, actually helps combat the stress hormones.

*As always try to sleep well, eat well, and stay hydrated.

Tip #5

Good Exercise and Migraine...
Improve Exercise Habits and reduce Migraines...

As part of the ongoing management program, we encourage following a healthy exercise program.
Exercise or physical exertion can be a Migraine trigger for some, and this alone can increase stress and anxiety and bring exercise levels down to zero.

However, low to moderate exercise has been shown to improve mood, lower stress levels, and may even halt or reduce the severity of a migraine attack.

Taking steps to reduce the chance of an attack before exercise can help:
- Eat a snack within two hours exercising

- Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate – before, during, and after exercise

- Start small, a 10 minute walk and gradually increase the time and the distance

- Avoid exercising at weather change times, extreme
temperatures or when pollution is high

- Consider gentle forms of exercise like walking, tai chi, yoga, swimming, or cycling

Exercise habits are part of the solution to effective Migraine prevention.
Start today with better exercise habits and develop a daily exercise plan.
At the Headache and Migraine centre we recognise that Headache and Migraine disorders are complex and unique to each individual.

We work with our patients to provide the best Headache and Migraine solutions.
Our extensive examination of the neck (Cervical spine) is performed using the Watson Approach, and the treatment and management program that follows is designed to achieve the best patient outcome.
