Migraine
Treatment Program
We work with our migraine patients to find the root cause of their symptoms and help them get back to living normal, active lives!

What is a Migraine?
Migraines are caused by improper neurological function, resulting in attacks that can last from hours to days. People who suffer with migraines have a sensitive nervous system that is easily overstimulated by things such as stress, lack of sleep, certain foods, and changes in weather.
Each person that experiences migraines has unique triggers that bring about their symptoms in varying levels from mild to debilitating, but these triggers are all rooted in the hypersensitivity of their nervous system.
There are different areas of the brain that are commonly responsible for causing migraine symptoms, and it is incredibly important to address neurological deficits in these areas when treating migraines.
Migraines cause central desensitization of the nervous system - this is why patients with migraines can experience a wide array of symptoms that do not always include pain.
There are typical and atypical migraines. With typical migraines, patients will experience the classical pain patterns associated with migraine. These can occur with and without aura. Some types of atypical migraines include, but are not limited to, vestibular migraine, abdominal migraine, hemiplegic migraine and ocular migraine.
Migraine Evaluation and Treatment
When we are working with migraine patients, we first conduct an in-depth examination to look at their nervous system, understand the health of the neurons in many different areas of their brain, review their nutritional habits, understand their hormonal balance, and make sure their musculoskeletal system is in tip-top shape. Initial tests include a full bedside neurological exam, an autonomic evaluation, video-oculography, computerized posturography, neural timing mechanisms, and lab work. Once the initial examination results are reviewed, a customized treatment plan is created to address the root cause of the patient’s migraine symptoms.
Migraine symptoms are multifactorial and in need of a multimodal approach to treatment. At Carolina Functional Neurology Center, we focus on four healing factors: neurological, nutrition, hormones, and biomechanics. Some patients have tried these treatments individually in the past with little to no success, but when we combine multiple approaches or utilize the approaches from a different perspective we see healing take place. By looking at the body as a whole and combining treatments, we simultaneously bring about results.
