While a primary care doctor can provide care for migraines, their options are limited, and will most likely refer you to a specialist if there is no apparent cause for the migraines. With that in mind, an alternative choice is a pain medicine doctor. Whereas conventional primary care doctors treat conditions like migraines by prescribing medication and addressing symptoms, pain doctors focus specifically on discovering the condition’s root cause.

In this way, a pain medicine doctor can be an excellent option for migraine treatment, as they can help you find long-term relief from migraines by attending to the root cause of your condition rather than only addressing the symptoms of your condition.

There are numerous doctors that deal with headaches, including family medicine doctors, internal medicine doctors, neurologists, and pain medicine doctors. Our pain doctors at Global Neuro & Spine Institute have plenty of expertise and experience in treating a wide range of different types of headaches, including migraines, cluster headaches, tension headaches, sinus headaches, and concussion-related headaches.

Migraines can cause an intense amount of pain and discomfort, whether that involves a throbbing or pulsing sensation, nausea, and vomiting, neck stiffness, or extreme sensitivity to light or sound. As such, finding relief from migraine pain and discomfort is priority number one for anyone dealing with a migraine. Since there are several different symptoms that an individual can experience during a migraine, relief measures for migraines typically depend on the symptoms you are experiencing.

With that in mind, some relief measures could include resting in a dark and quiet room, applying a hot or cold compress, staying hydrated, massaging your temples, a hot shower or warm bath, and other measures. With that being said, your primary care doctor or migraine specialist can provide you with the most effective relief measures and advice for relieving migraine.

At Global Neuro & Spine Institute, our experienced doctors treat migraines by examining the migraine’s underlying causes. In order to do so, we will run various tests and assessments to get to the bottom of what is causing your migraines. With that in mind, there are several different bodily functions that can lead to migraines if they are disordered or not functioning correctly, which are as follows:

-Energy failure, due to nutritional deficiencies, inflammation, toxicity, or chronic infection
-Gut health, such as food sensitivities or dysbiosis
-Heart vitality, such as high blood pressure
-Hormones, such as high levels of cortisol or imbalances with estrogen or progesterone
-Immune balance, such as mast cell activation syndrome
-Musculoskeletal structural issues, such as cervical spine or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders
-Neurotransmitter imbalances in the brain, such as high levels of glutamate
-Overwhelmed detoxification system

Once we identify the underlying cause or causes of your migraines, we will treat the imbalance or disorder at its root so that it will no longer cause migraines. For more information on our migraine treatment options at Global Neuro & Spine Institute., please feel free to call us!

While migraines can occur in men and women due to several different causes, a common cause of migraines in women is progesterone and estrogen imbalances. When such imbalances lead to migraines in women, the migraines are typically experienced cyclically at specific intervals of the menstrual cycle.
