Treating a migraine headache can be an extraneous task to undertake. It has its obstacles from everywhere. Whether trigger from without or symptoms from within, one thing is for sure – you get little relief without the use of a migraine treatment. Yet there are a number of treatment options available to the end user; some of which contain hazardous side effects that no one wants to experience. I recommend doing the research yourself as well as consulting with your primary doctor to determine which migraine treatment will work the best for you. Below are a few of the migraine treatments available.
Prescription Medication
Everyone now a days, people want to just pop a pill and get better; while that seems like a good plan, there are some pills that bring with them more side effects than treatment relief. Triptans and Ergots are currently the drugs of choice by most physicians that treat migraine patients. Yet these precarious pills were not originally designed for migraine treatment but for high blood pressure patients. They accomplish this task by constrict blood vessels throughout the body, even blood vessels in the brain which start the migraine process. However, a normal blood pressure patient having constricted blood vessels can experience the side effects of stroke, heart attack and even death because of taking these pills. Ergots are even more dangerous than Triptans as they constrict the vessels in and around the heart. Choose wisely you migraine treatment or you could sufferer even more than migraine pain.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy can be a very effective way to neutralize a migraine and its symptoms. Neck tension is a common migraine trigger and if treated correctly, it can be eliminated from an individual’s life. Warning! Do not get a deep-tissue or Swedish massage as this will only irritate the migraine. The professional therapist will target not large muscles group but a smaller muscle group called the suboccipital muscles. They run from the back of the head to the middle of the shoulder blades. Special care should be had here if an appropriate treatment option is to be realized. So relax, lay back and let the massage therapist manipulate the muscles that can give you worst migraine of your life.
