Migraine Headaches

Migraine headaches are more than just severe headaches—they are a complex neurological condition that can cause intense, throbbing pain often accompanied by nausea, sensitivity to light or sound, and visual disturbances known as auras. For many people, migraines can interfere with daily activities, work, and overall quality of life. At Covenant Spine and Neurology, our experienced specialists understand how debilitating migraines can be. We take a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and management, focusing on identifying triggers, relieving pain, and preventing future episodes whenever possible.

Causes and Triggers of Migraine Headaches

Migraines can be influenced by a combination of genetic, neurological, and environmental factors. Common triggers may include:

 

  • Hormonal changes

  • Certain foods or beverages (such as caffeine or aged cheese)

  • Stress or lack of sleep

  • Weather changes or sensory stimuli

  • Medication overuse

Understanding what triggers your migraines is key to finding an effective treatment plan. Our team uses advanced diagnostic tools and patient education to help identify these underlying causes.

Comprehensive Migraine Diagnosis

Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective migraine management. At Covenant Spine and Neurology, our diagnostic process may include:

 

  • Detailed medical history and symptom assessment

  • Neurological examination

  • Imaging studies such as MRI or CT scans (if needed)

  • Evaluation of lifestyle factors and potential triggers

This comprehensive approach helps us rule out other causes of head pain and develop a treatment plan tailored specifically to you.

Personalized Migraine Treatment Plans

Every patient experiences migraines differently, which is why we create customized treatment plans. Depending on your symptoms and needs, treatment may include:

 

  • Medication management: Preventive and acute pain-relief options

  • Lifestyle and trigger modification: Stress management, sleep optimization, and diet adjustments

  • Infusion therapy: For patients with chronic or severe migraines

  • Nerve blocks or Botox injections: To help prevent recurring headaches

  • Neuromodulation and other advanced therapies: When traditional treatments are not effective

Our goal is to reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines while helping you regain control over your daily life.

Managing migraines is often an ongoing process that benefits from consistent monitoring and communication.
