The migraine effect.
Migraines can be triggered due to many factors; ranging from hormonal imbalance, light sensitivity, allergies and dehydration to neuro-metabolic issues. This leaves your brain in a high state of stress and imbalance. The results are a variety of symptoms that take their toll on your life including inability to focus, mood swings and throbbing pain.
What Is Causing My Pain and How Do I Stop It?
Migraines create a high stress state in your brain, which causes an increase in sympathetic response and a decrease in parasympathetic response. Simply stated, this means brainwave imbalance which can negatively impact normal brainwave function. If the stressful trigger of the migraine continues, the response becomes chronic. Once ongoing, it is harder and harder for your brain to re-regulate or normalize function.
Can Medication Help?
The standard protocol for those suffering from migraines is medication. According to research studies, up to 84% of those taking migraine medications report being unsatisfied; stating they do not alleviate the pain. Medications offer temporary pain relief by blocking pain receptor sites, but do not address the brainwave imbalance which may be contributing to your pain. Medications offer great short-term relief but are not a long-term viable solution as they offer no correction and come with high risks and the potential for addiction.
How Can Neurofeedback Help My Migraines?
Neurofeedback is a scientifically proven system that retrains the brain to create new patterns and responses to incoming triggers and stressors. This new response improves brainwave activity and function. The result is a calmer, happier, healthier brain that has fewer symptoms and flare ups. Studies have shown more than a 54% rate of total cessation of pain and symptoms and 99% reported a decrease in pain and symptoms. When balance and function is restored, your outcomes are optimized and health improved.
