A recent study of 91 migraine patients, published in the journal Cephalalgia (I know, it sounds like a drag queen), has demonstrated that aerobic exercise, relaxation techniques and the drug topamax were all equally effective in decreasing headache frequency.  Let's just let that sink in for a moment.  It is astounding!!!  There have also been studies recently published that definitively show that meditation reduces the activity of nerve pain systems (called neuronal networks and pain pathways) as demonstrated by MRI scans. 

Wow!  At neurOasis, we have long believed that the WHOLE person needs to be treated for successful reduction in chronic pain syndromes, including migraine.  Ok, I admit, I'm a cheerleader.  When you come to see me for migraine or pain, I am going to help you figure out a personalized regimen for your pain.  Yes, it might include medications but it may also include physical therapy exercises, treatment by our meditation and mindfulness psychologist and dietary evaluation by our naturopathic physician.  You might even get acupunture or chiropractic therapy.  The point is that if you are willing to put in the work and a few bucks (not all services will be covered by insurance), then you are ready to begin your journey to a life of freedom from the shackles of pain.  A life you dream about every day.  I am here to tell you, you can have your cake and eat it too! 

Nothing makes me happier than seeing someone in the throws of terrible daily pain blossom into a smiling and wonderful, pain free person.  So come on, start your journey.  Let me help you.
