Migraines are a terrible form of severe headache, often associated with nausea, vomiting, sound and light sensitivity and many other symptoms.  They can be debilitating and it is estimated they cost the Canadian economy over half a billion dollars a year in direct and indirect costs. 

There are definite triggers (chocolate, red wine, cheese etc…) and it is very important to avoid them if you can.  Many women suffer premenstrually or as a result of the birth control pill.  Some patients respond well to natural supplementation with magnesium or vitamin B, but many women do not. 

New treatment options have become available over the last two decades.  Studies have shown that the majority of migraine patients respond to multi faceted treatment.  I have been treating migraines for over 20 years and the quality of life of many of my patients has improved greatly with treatment.  Men and women alike who have suffered for years and missed out on special times with their family and friends can now return to a normal life. 
Insurance companies often pay for the treatment.

Myofascial pain:

Neck spasm and tightness is a common cause of neck pain in both men and women of all ages.  Whiplash disorder also happens frequently after a car accident and results in long term pain.  Treatment options include physical therapy, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, chiropractic and acupuncture just to name a few.   Spasm can also occur in the low back resulting in severe pain and limitation of movement and function.  Many patients who have endured this chronic pain and have tried multiple therapies without success may benefit from current treatment options.  

Treatment that reduces muscle spasm helps relax the muscles and significantly improve pain and is sometimes covered by private insurance companies.
