Migraine
Are migraines interfering with your life, work, or peace of mind? You’re not alone. Migraines are more than just bad headaches—they’re a neurological condition that can be completely debilitating. At Theracave, we specialize in non-invasive, therapy-based care that helps reduce the intensity and frequency of migraines. Our goal is to help you find relief through personalized physical therapy that addresses the underlying triggers.
A migraine is a neurological disorder marked by intense, often throbbing head pain—usually on one side—often accompanied by other symptoms like nausea, sensitivity to light, or visual disturbances. Migraines can last anywhere from a few hours to several days, and for many people, they return again and again without proper treatment.
Causes Of Migraines:

Q&A
What is a migraine?
A migraine is a type of headache characterized by intense, throbbing pain, usually on one side of the head. Migraines can also be accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound, and visual disturbances known as aura.
What are the common symptoms of migraines?
Common symptoms of migraines include severe, pulsating or throbbing pain on one side of the head, nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound, and visual disturbances like flashing lights or blind spots. Some people experience aura, which are sensory disturbances that occur before the headache.
What causes migraines?
The exact cause of migraines is not fully understood, but they are believed to result from a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurological factors. Triggers may include hormonal changes, stress, certain foods or drinks, sleep disturbances, and sensory overload.
How is a migraine diagnosed?
Migraines are diagnosed based on a patient’s medical history and symptoms. A healthcare provider may perform a physical examination and ask about headache patterns and triggers. In some cases, imaging tests or other diagnostic procedures may be used to rule out other conditions.
What are the treatment options for migraines?
Treatment options for migraines include over-the-counter or prescription medications to relieve pain and prevent attacks. Lifestyle changes, such as managing stress, avoiding triggers, and maintaining a regular sleep schedule, can also help. Physical therapy and alternative treatments may be beneficial for some individuals.
Can physical therapy help with migraines?
Yes, physical therapy can help manage migraines, especially if they are related to musculoskeletal issues or tension. Techniques such as posture correction, stretching, and relaxation exercises can reduce the frequency and severity of migraines.
How can I prevent migraines?
Preventing migraines involves identifying and avoiding triggers, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, managing stress, and establishing regular sleep patterns. Keeping a headache diary can help identify patterns and triggers, and working with a healthcare provider can help develop a personalized prevention plan.
How long do migraines typically last?
The duration of a migraine can vary. Migraine attacks typically last from 4 to 72 hours if untreated. The frequency of migraines can also vary, with some individuals experiencing them occasionally and others having chronic migraines occurring more frequently.
