HEADACHE & MIGRAINE TREATMENTS TO END THE PAIN
How about… anything you want. If you’re tired of coping with chronic headache and migraine pain, New Jersey Headache Relief Center wants to help you put that pain behind you. Just imagine never taking another day off work due to the chronic headache suffering, or sitting in dark rooms with a cold compress on your head, or missing social engagements because you fear an unexpected migraine episode. Imagine headache and migraine treatments that avoid unnecessary risks and cause no pain or harm in and of themselves.
NJHRC’s headache and migraine treatment involves NO drugs. We feel that medications are too often prescribed by providers who lack a deeper understanding of neuromuscular force problems and cannot see the big picture. Our headache and migraine treatment protocols focus on identifying the root causes of pain — not just the symptoms — because this treatment approach can produce lasting pain relief.
NJHRC's HEADACHE AND MIGRAINE TREATMENTS
Below you’ll find explanations of the more frequently used treatment modalities employed at NJHRC. Our headache & migraine treatment protocols involve FDA-approved, proven technologies for achieving long-term pain relief:
- MANUAL MANIPULATION
- CRANIAL ELECTROTHERAPY
- ULTRASOUND OF THE MUSCLES
- LOW-LEVEL COLD LASER
- REHABILITATION ORTHOTICS
Trigger Point Treatment
Locating and breaking up knotty trigger points in the muscles of the head, neck, and shoulders is crucial — especially when chronic muscle tension accompanies a headache or migraine condition. By increasing blood flow to those areas and subsequently decreasing the inflammation and pain we are ultimately creating the conditions necessary for accelerated healing.
Alpha Stim Technology
Electrical stimulation is an excellent modality for use in headache and migraine treatment because the electrical signals reduce both muscle spasms and the potential for referral pain into other areas. Electrical stimulation ‘scrambles’ the pain signals being sent to your brain and encourages healthy nerve stimulation.
Beneficial Soundwaves
Ultrasound, first and foremost, is not noisy and does not hurt. In fact, it feels good! Patients describe it as a warming sensation and similar to getting a mild massage. Additionally, ultrasound aids in returning proper circulation to sore and strained muscles by increasing blood flow through the application of heat.
The ultrasound device we use can penetrate up to 5 inches deep, which makes it appropriate for treating headache and migraine trigger points without needing to physically penetrate the skin.
Cold Laser Technology
Low-level cold laser application can reduce pain and inflammation, providing multiple benefits to headache and migraine sufferers.
Finally, cold laser application is a strong choice for headache and migraine treatment and other pain conditions because it helps to reconnect the neurological pathways.
Bite Force Realignment
When these muscles become overworked and forces are imbalanced, harmony must be restored to achieve pain-free function. Neuromuscular Dentists like Dr. Ekstein use rehabilitation orthotics to make this possible. Dr. Ekstein performs occlusal adjustments to your rehab orthotic periodically throughout your headache and migraine treatment course. In this way your bite can be trained to achieve its optimal position, the way mother nature originally intended. These breakthrough treatment protocols are only offered in this manner by neuromuscular dentists.
Use of other treatment modalities in tandem with rehabilitation orthotics is what makes long-term pain relief a reality!
IT'S TIME TO ELIMINATE HEADACHE AND MIGRAINE PAIN.
The first step in the process is to receive a comprehensive headache or migraine diagnosis at New Jersey Headache Relief Center by Dr. Ekstein. The diagnostic exams can be completed in one office visit and you’ll be able to get answers almost immediately. Most people have neuromuscular force problems at the root of their headache and migraine pain, but the exact nature of your neuromuscular force imbalances must be known. Then Dr. Ekstein can customize a unique set of migraine and headache treatments to eliminate your pain.
Again, NJHRC’s headache and migraine treatments will target root causes for your unique headache or migraine pain condition — not just your symptoms. You could even be PAIN-FREE in under 3 months.
