Ladybug is right. It really does depend on what is causing the migraines. If you can isolate the cause (often multi factorial) you have a much better chance of finding an effective treatment. Migraines are commonly hormonal and affected by the menstrual cycle or differing methods of contraception. Sometimes they are triggered by foods like chocolate Other times they are due to trigeminal neuralgia which can be caused by several things. Another cause is compression between C1 & C2 from poor posture. research has also found that some migraine sufferers have a small hole between the chambers of the heart so this can be a cause. Often migraines are a combination of several factors listed above. Try and isolate exactly when you get migraines and if there are triggers. Eliminate as many factors as you can and see if they improve. Structural or cranial Osteopathy may help you if it is not triggered by foods (a Dietician or Nutritionalist may help) or hormonal (Your GP may be able to help). I can't comment on Homeopathy or any of the other complimentary therapies as i don't know anything about them. Good luck!

Please forgive me...this question always bothers me. :)

1. You have to determine WHAT is CAUSING your migraine.

2. What stopped my migraine may not stop yours.

3. Why 'control' a migraine when you can stop it...

Keep a headache journal. Write down on your calendar...journal what you ate that day, where it is in relation to your cycle...my migraines were caused by low progesterone...I started taking progesterone and no longer get hormone migraines...then I got another migraine 4 wks ago...it happened right after I ate a bagel so I knew it was food related...I got food allergy tested and found out it was an yeast allergy...so...I stopped my migraines again. :)

People's triggers are different. Sure getting a massage is loooovely...but it will NOT fix the cause.

GOOD LUCK!

Answer 4

A safe alternative for the treatment of migraines is EEG biofeedback also known as neurofeedback therapy. Do the research on the web using keywords "neurofeedback and migraine". You will need to locate a certified neurofeedback therapist in your area and it will require several session but it is well worth it. There are medicines involved and no side effects.

Find a massage therapist who has experience in the medical field - DO NOT go to a massage "parlor". Go with someone who is licensed to give massage, not a hooker.
