Migraine: support and limitations
Is there a feeling of nausea or discomfort in the light that you have to interrupt your activities?

What you can observe
Migraine is a neurological condition. It requires diagnosis and, depending on the frequency of seizures, medical treatment of crisis or background. Osteopathy does not replace either.
The first landmarks in everyday life
Prepare a survey of seizures, their impact and medications taken. Ask the doctor for a clear plan for seizures and situations where to re-consult. Avoid changing the prescribed treatments alone.
Describe your usual seizures
Report the duration of crises, frequency, nausea, sensitivity to light and possible aura. A migraine is a neurological condition; it does not mean that the skull is blocked. A simple journal of seizures and their impact helps to organize the management with your doctor.
Accompaniing the associated discomforts
Consultation may explore coexisting neck or jaw pain. The objective must remain explicit: to improve an associated discomfort when it falls within the musculoskeletal field. The data do not permit the presentation of osteopathy as a reference treatment for migraine disease or the replacement of prescribed crisis or background treatments.
Build individual benchmarks
Identify the circumstances that actually come back in your newspaper rather than excluding many foods for no reason. Regular rhythms and adapted activity can support your overall health. A net change in your seizures, a new aura or an unusual deficit must be discussed medically.
