Migraines affect roughly 15% of the global population and are one of the most common—and disruptive—neurological conditions. At Huntsville Pain Management, we begin migraine care with a detailed screening by a qualified practitioner. This process ensures an accurate diagnosis and helps rule out any conditions that may require immediate medical attention.
Migraines are characterized by recurring, moderate to severe headaches, often affecting one side of the head and presenting with a pulsing or throbbing sensation. These episodes can last anywhere from a few hours to several days. Common symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and heightened sensitivity to light, sound, smell, or temperature. Physical activity and emotional stress often intensify the pain. Many individuals also experience an “aura” — visual or sensory disturbances — shortly before the headache begins.
While the exact cause remains unclear, migraines may be triggered by a range of factors including viral infections, stress, lack of sleep, fatigue, neck or shoulder tension, low blood sugar, or emotional strain.
Many patients report significant relief within the first few sessions, with ongoing improvement as treatment progresses.
