The Daily Impact of Migraine
Migraine can take control of your day before any pain has even arrived.
You recognise the warning signs. Your concentration changes. Light or sound becomes uncomfortable. You feel nauseous, unusually tired or aware that an attack is building.
Work becomes difficult. Screens feel unbearable. Plans are cancelled and everything else has to wait.
Even after the worst has passed, fatigue and brain fog can make it difficult to return to normal.
Between attacks, the uncertainty remains.
You carry medication everywhere. You hesitate before making plans. You worry about managing a busy week, an important meeting, a family occasion or a long journey.
Other people may see you looking well and struggle to understand how much migraine is affecting your life.
You want fewer attacks, fewer lost days and the confidence to make plans without constantly wondering whether migraine will take them away.
A Personal Approach to Migraine Prevention
Migraine is a neurological condition, and your chiropractic care is focused on prevention by identifying and addressing the factors relevant to your individual pattern.
Paul considers how your attacks begin and develop, alongside factors such as sleep, stress, neck stiffness, head tension, workload and previous treatment.
This creates a treatment approach shaped around you rather than a standard migraine protocol.
Specialist Focus. Fewer Lost Days.
Dr Paul Holmes, Doctor of Chiropractic, specialises in migraine prevention and has extensive experience working with persistent and complex migraine patterns.
Many patients come to Paul after years of medication, appointments and trying to fit migraine around work, family life and plans. He understands how exhausting and discouraging that becomes, especially when you still do not have a clear way forward.
His focus is on helping make attacks less frequent and less disruptive, giving you more dependable working days, time with the people who matter and confidence in making plans again.
Your Initial Consultation
A Thorough Assessment. Clear Answers. A Plan for Prevention.
Your first appointment is designed to understand your migraine pattern, assess the factors relevant to you and establish the best way forward.
1. Tell Us What Has Been Happening
Paul will ask how your attacks begin and develop, what you experience before, during and afterwards, and how migraine affects your work and daily life.
He will also review relevant medication, previous treatment, scans or medical investigations.
2. A Specialist Clinical Assessment
For some people, stiffness, restricted movement or tension around the neck and jaw can influence the pattern for some people.
Paul will assess how your neck, upper spine and jaw move, where tension or sensitivity is present, and whether movement or gentle pressure reproduces symptoms you recognise.
If dizziness, visual disturbance or unsteadiness form part of your attacks, he may also assess your balance, eye movements and other neurological signs.
This gives Paul a fuller picture of your migraine pattern and shows where treatment should focus.
3. Explanation and Treatment
Paul will explain what he has found, how it relates to your migraine pattern and how treatment can help with prevention.
Where appropriate, treatment can begin during the same appointment and is included in your consultation fee.
Initial Consultation and Examination: £95.00
