Migraine and Cluster Headaches

 This is an effective, and safe means of treating and managing the various symptoms of Migraine, particularly pain, fatigue and ‘brain fog’. Oxygen Therapy is based on a dramatic increase in the amount of dissolved oxygen carried by the blood which enables oxygenation of ischemic areas with compromised circulation.

It also activates oxidant-antioxidant system, stimulates angio- and neurogenesis, modulates inflammatory response, induces brain neuroplasticity and possesses analgesic effect. Oxygen therapy involves a 20-session initial protocol, consecutive sessions, then weekly sessions to help you manage your symptoms.  

Complementary approaches used together with conventional medicine are generally accepted as improving overall physical and mental wellbeing.

Provided by our physiotherapy team can reduce many types of chronic pain, so it's not surprising that many people with Migraine/Cluster Headaches are interested in trying it.  

Acupuncture works with the nervous system in the body to regenerate cells and promote healing. The use of specific acupuncture points can create a closed circuit between the point and the neurologic control centre in the brain.

By giving the body and brain the necessary tools, the two can work in conjunction to heal the body. From a scientific perspective, acupuncture shifts and moves energy, while stimulating blood flow and increasing cellular level oxygen.

This is a hands-on treatment performed on the skin with no oils or creams. By following the unique lines of tension in each person’s body, the MFR therapist can reach deeply into the tissues and uncover significant restrictions.  

If you're having trouble finding relief for your pain, it may be worth trying MFR.

 In addition to medical treatments, complementary and supportive therapies are commonly used to cope with pain during a migraine attack. In recent years, aromatherapy through massage has become more common to reduce the severity of pain, make people painless and improve the quality of life.

Aromatherapy applications are the application of pain relief oil mixtures through massage. Lavender and peppermint essential oils are mostly used in aromatherapy applications to reduce pain.
