Personalized Treatment
Neurological
Because migraine has an underlying seizure component, the areas of the brain where the seizure spreads will experience progressive fatigue. This often leads to declining cognitive function over time. Additionally, chronic pain causes the brain to reorganize itself to compensate, which can lower the threshold for migraine onset.
Neurological treatment can involve:
- Neuro Cognitive Therapy
- Infusion Therapies
- Dietary Changes
- Neurologic Exercises
Endocrine
The Endocrine system deals with the hormones and chemicals the body uses to govern various organ functions. Because the endocrine system is controlled by the hypothalamus in the brain, chemical or hormonal irregularities can play a major role in chronic migraine for both genders, but especially for women.
Endocrine therapy could include
- Dietary Changes
- Lifestyle Changes
- Medication (Natural or Prescription)
Pyschological
Psychological factors, including thought patterns, can influence physical reactions that contribute to migraines. For example, a patient could experience anxiety which causes them to clench their teeth or tighten their jaw. This can cause problems with the 5th cranial nerve, a major contributor to migraines. Other contributors can include post-traumatic stress, OCD, etc. These situations must be addressed just as any physical disorder.
Pyschocological rehabilitation could include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
- Coping Strategies
- Meditation, Mindfulness, Spirituality
- Exercise
- Medications (Natural or Prescription)
Metabolic
The hypothalamus is integrally involved in the body's regulation of glucose. The longer one experiences migraines, the more likely they are to experience dysregulation of these systems which can lead to a myriad of negative symptoms. Additionally, some experience a genetic predisposition for metabolic issues. It is often of the utmost importance to correct these metabolic imbalances for the body to begin to heal.
Metabolic improvement can involve:
- Dietary Changes
- Fasting
- Supplementation
- Exercise
Orthopedic
Orthopedic care focuses on structural correction. Because various joints and muscles are connected to the regions of the central nervous system where migraines originate, solving orthopedic problems is essential.
Orthopedic care can include:
- Chiropractic Manipulation
- Osteopathic Manipulation
- Physical Therapy
- Postural Correction
- Injection Therapies
