A migraine is a neurological ailment that can affect your ability to sleep, eat, work, exercise, spend time with family and friends, and take part in hobbies and activities you enjoy. A migraine can be triggered or caused by your environment, diet, medications, hormones, or even changes in the weather.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can be a safe, effective treatment option for migraine headaches if other treatments have been unsuccessful or you want to treat your migraines using a holistic, non-invasive, and non-surgical approach. For migraines, HBOT therapy can be used as an alternative to prescription medication and other treatments or as a complementary therapy.
HBOT benefits for migraines include:
Migraines are different from common headaches, and they present a unique cluster of symptoms. A migraine often starts with a visual disturbance that serves as a warning sign of the impending headache.
The main event, the migraine itself, is characterized by intense, throbbing pain, usually on one side of the head. Along with this pain, you may experience nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. Migraines can last from hours to days.
On the other hand, regular headaches are often described as a dull, aching sensation all over the head. They lack the associated symptoms that make migraines so debilitating.
