How Migraine Is Treated

Care Pt

Physical Therapy

Targeted work on neck and upper back tension, a recognized contributing factor for many people’s migraine frequency.

Pain Medicine

For some patients, non-opioid medication management can help. Our pain specialists coordinate with your neurologist if you’re already working with one, particularly for acute or preventive medication.

Pain Psychology

Persistent migraine often brings anxiety about the next episode and disruption to daily plans. Pain-focused therapy addresses these patterns and helps identify stress-related triggers.

Coaching & Peer Support

Between visits, a certified pain coach helps you track your trigger patterns, whether food, sleep, stress, or hormonal, and build sustainable habits around them.

What to Expect

Your first visit focuses on understanding your migraine history, frequency, and known triggers.

From there, your care team builds a plan matched to your pattern, adjusting as you progress.

Timelines vary. Your team will help set realistic expectations based on your specific case.

Real Results

“I learned a lot about myself – what I could do to help myself, how I can help myself with my toolbox, that medication isn’t always the answer. My care team showed me how to cope with the pain and deal with everything.”

This varies, but many patients start noticing a pattern shift within a few weeks of consistent care, with an ongoing plan afterward, especially for chronic migraine.
