Migraines

[lovergirl818]

Hi there a client came this week who has been suffering from migraines for about 18 months. They were brought on by a particularly stressful and emotional time in her life and now she is getting them almost weekly. She has various medication from the GP and now is taking some form of betablocker when they are really bad.

She has been recommended to come for treatments by a friend of hers who came lasst year with migraines and the definitely improved. Her migraines were related to her periods.

Anyway I just wondered if anybody had any helpful information that they can pass on to me.

Idid a general treatmentwith concentration on the spine, mainly cervicals, all toes/brain, solar plexus, adrenals, shoulders.

We talked about diet and lifestyle.

I think I am just a bit worried about this client as she is planning to come weekly and I am worried that she is investing so heavily in me - both emotionally and financially. She really wants it to work.

I bumped into her and she said that she felt great after the treatment. Although the next morning she felt 'heady' and so took the tablet to stop it coming on. Now part of me thinks that she should have let the migraine come on and stayed in bed - she had the day off work.

Any thoughts please.

This may be irrelevant for this particular client, but may be useful to be aware of.

I have a few friends who used to suffer with nightmare headaches and migraines ... some nights they would wake up with them. For them it turned out they were clenching / grinding their teeth while sleeping. And this tension brought on the headaches, they now sleep wearing a gumshield and that has cured the problem for them. I know that this relates to TMJ pain, but believe it is also related to headaches.

A quick search on google reveals some articles about it.

Good luck to both you and your client!
