Migraine

​

​

A migraine is usually a severe headache felt as a throbbing pain at the front or side of the head.

 

Symptoms include:

​

• a pounding headache

• nausea

• vomiting

• light sensitivity

​

The exact cause of migraines is unknown, although they're thought to be the result of temporary changes in the chemicals and blood vessels in the brain.

​

Some people find migraine attacks are associated with certain triggers, which can be hormonal (related to periods), stress, tiredness or nutritional. 

​

Migraines can severely affect your quality of life and stop you carrying out your normal daily activities. Some people find they need to stay in bed for days at a time.

​

However, a number of effective treatments are available to reduce the symptoms and prevent further attacks. Homeopathy and osteopathic treatment have shown good results in treating these symptoms.
