Migraines

Migraines cause severe pain for many patients, and can include throbbing and pulsating pain in the head. Migraines are common, affecting about 12 percent of Americans, according to the U.S. Department of Human Services and National Institutes of Health.



Some patients experience warnings in the form of a flashing light or aura, while others have no warning at all. Symptoms of migraines include nausea, vomiting, throbbing or pulsating feelings in the head, and sensitivity to bright lights or loud noises. These usually tell us it is a migraine and not just a bad headache.



Here at TLC Holistic Wellness in Livonia, MI, we provide treatment to help reduce the pain and frequency of the migraines. While the cause of your migraine may not be known, certain triggers tend to be common among our patients. Migraines are often triggered by certain lifestyle changes or events, such as hormonal changes for women, exposure to light, stress, anxiety, lack of sleep, or certain types of food and beverages.



Dr. Carol Ann Fischer offers different treatments for migraines, including the following:



1. Massage Therapy
2. Biofeedback
3. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
4. Herbal Remedies
