Drysdale Osteopathy • Migraine Headaches

Patient: Woman 38 years
Occupation: Artist
Pain: 9/10

Complaint: Classic Migraine Headaches when stressed or angry. This patient had a minor scoliosis and was hypermobile. There were various areas of asymmetry which I noticed when I looked at her, the most obvious being her face.

The Migraine Headache lasted for about 24 hours, with a frequency of 1 per week. There was no link to her menstrual cycle.

Treatment: I treated this Lady using Cranio-Sacral Therapy. Two areas were problematic, the left sacroiliac joint and right temporal bone. It took 3 treatments over 2 weeks to correct these areas. The Lady was headache free for 3 months after this treatment.

Prognosis: The intensity and frequency of her Migraine Headaches is markedly reduced.

She returns for treatment 2 or 3 times a year - when she feels the need.
