Migraine Treatment
Migraine Treatment in Surrey
Migraines can affect far more than your head. For many people, migraine symptoms interfere with work, exercise, sleep, concentration, and everyday activities. If recurring migraines are impacting your quality of life, professional treatment may help identify contributing factors and support more effective symptom management.
At Jeeva Physio, we provide personalized migraine treatment in Surrey through physiotherapy, acupuncture, and massage therapy. With clinics in both Guildford and Newton, our team works to identify physical factors that may be contributing to your symptoms and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Understanding Migraines
A migraine is a neurological condition that can cause recurring headaches along with a wide range of symptoms that affect daily life. While many people think of migraines as severe headaches, they can also involve visual disturbances, sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, dizziness, difficulty concentrating, and neck pain.
Migraine symptoms vary from person to person. Some individuals experience occasional episodes, while others struggle with recurring migraines that affect their ability to work, exercise, socialize, or complete daily activities. Migraine attacks may last for several hours or even multiple days.
Because migraines can be influenced by several factors, including muscle tension, neck dysfunction, posture, stress, sleep disturbances, and lifestyle habits, identifying potential triggers and contributing factors is often an important part of managing symptoms effectively.
Common Migraine Symptoms
Migraine symptoms can vary in intensity, frequency, and duration. Common symptoms include:
-
Moderate to severe headache pain
-
Throbbing or pulsating headaches
-
Pain on one or both sides of the head
-
Sensitivity to light, sound, or certain smells
-
Nausea or vomiting
-
Dizziness or light-headedness
-
Blurred vision
-
Visual disturbances or aura
-
Neck pain or stiffness
-
Shoulder tension
-
Difficulty concentrating or brain fog
-
Fatigue during or after a migraine episode
-
Increased discomfort with physical activity
If you experience recurring migraine symptoms, a professional assessment can help determine whether physical factors such as muscle tension, posture, or neck dysfunction may be contributing to your condition.
Common Causes and Triggers of Migraines
Migraines can be influenced by a variety of factors, including:
-
Stress and tension
-
Poor posture
-
Muscle tightness in the neck and shoulders
-
Repetitive strain from prolonged screen use or desk work
-
Sleep disturbances
-
Hormonal changes
-
Dehydration
-
Certain foods and beverages
-
Environmental triggers
-
Previous neck injuries
-
Joint restrictions in the neck or upper back
For some individuals, dysfunction involving the neck, upper back, muscles, and movement patterns may contribute to recurring headaches or migraine symptoms. Because migraines often involve multiple contributing factors, a comprehensive assessment can help identify the issues most relevant to your situation.
Migraine Treatment Options in Surrey
Migraines are complex and often involve a combination of neurological, muscular, postural, and lifestyle factors. Because every person experiences migraines differently, treatment should be tailored to the individual.
At Jeeva Physio, your treatment plan may involve a combination of therapies designed to reduce physical stress on the body, improve movement, address muscle tension, and support long-term symptom management.
Depending on your needs, treatment may include:
-
Physiotherapy to assess movement patterns, posture, mobility restrictions, and physical factors that may contribute to migraine symptoms
-
Manual Therapy to improve mobility and address restrictions within the neck, upper back, and surrounding joints
-
Acupuncture to help reduce pain, relieve muscle tension, and support overall symptom management
-
Registered Massage Therapy to relieve tension in the neck, shoulders, upper back, and jaw
​ -
Exercise Therapy to improve mobility, strength, and movement control
-
Active Rehabilitation to address postural habits and movement patterns that may contribute to recurring symptoms
-
Postural Education to reduce strain associated with prolonged sitting, workstation use, and everyday activities
-
Patient Education to help identify triggers and manage factors that may aggravate symptoms
Your assessment may include an evaluation of posture, mobility, muscle tension, neck function, movement patterns, and lifestyle factors. By addressing both migraine symptoms and potential contributing factors, treatment can help support improved comfort, function, and quality of life.
What Is the Best Treatment for Migraines?
The most appropriate treatment for migraines depends on the factors contributing to your symptoms. For some individuals, migraine management may involve physiotherapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, exercise, posture correction, lifestyle modifications, or a combination of treatments.
A professional assessment can help determine whether physical factors such as neck dysfunction, muscle tension, postural strain, or movement restrictions may be influencing your symptoms and which treatment options may be most appropriate for your needs.
