Acute Migraine Management

WHAT ARE ACUTE MIGRAINES?

An acute migraine is a headache that usually occurs on one side of the head, causing severe pain, pulsing, or throbbing. Also called episodic migraines, acute migraines are often accompanied by other symptoms, including extreme sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, vomiting, irritability, and neck stiffness. The headache may interfere with your daily life and cause difficulty focusing your eyes. Sometimes triggered by stress, acute migraines are those that occur less than 15 days per month, whereas chronic migraines occur more often than that. At Your Family Medical Clinic, we offer expert care for migraine headaches. Reach out to our caring team to book an appointment.

DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT FOR MIGRAINES

Our providers diagnose migraines during your appointment. Your visit will be carried out in a private treatment room where your provider will learn about your symptoms and health history. Sometimes additional diagnostic tests are recommended. From there, a personalized treatment plan will be created based on you as an individual, which may include prescription headache medication or other preventive therapies.

MIGRAINE PAIN RELIEF

While headache medications can provide some relief for acute migraines, you may need to seek professional treatment for headaches that continue to occur. For acute migraine management, reach out to the seasoned family providers at Your Family Medical Clinic. We offer convenient appointment times, along with a family-centered environment where all patients of all ages are welcome.
