Migraine and Chronic Headache Support
Are migraines or persistent headaches interfering with your daily life? At Evolving Pain, we specialise in helping individuals manage and reduce migraine and headache-related pain.
​
We understand that chronic headaches and migraines are more than just pain – they can affect vision, concentration, and overall well-being. Whether you experience tension headaches, cluster headaches, vestibular migraines, or chronic migraines, our team is here to support you with tailored treatment strategies that focus on sustainable relief and improved function.
What Are Migraines and Chronic Headaches?​
​
Migraines and chronic headaches are complex neurological conditions that go beyond ordinary headaches. They often involve heightened sensitivity of the nervous system, leading to recurring pain episodes. Symptoms may include:
​
-
Throbbing or pulsating head pain
-
Sensitivity to light, sound, or smells
-
Nausea and vomiting
-
Visual disturbances (aura)
-
Dizziness or vertigo
-
Fatigue and difficulty concentrating
​
Chronic headaches can also be linked to muscle tension, stress, or neurological sensitivities. Understanding the type of headache you experience is key to managing it effectively.
​
At Evolving Pain, we focus on identifying triggers, reducing pain sensitivity, and enhancing your ability to participate in daily activities without being held back by the symptoms of migraine or headache.
