Menstrual Headache Treatment
Menstrual migraine affects about 20–25% of female migraineurs in the general population, and 22–70% of patients presenting to headache clinics. In women diagnosed with menstrual migraine, perimenstrual migraine attacks are associated with substantially greater disability than their non-menstrual attacks.

Posted on Google Gabbie PotocnikTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michael was able to fit me in when I woke with vertigo. He was extremely reassuring and took the time to explain what was going on. Within 24 hours of seeing him the vertigo had gone away. He also sent me a message to see how I was a few days later. Would highly recommend him for any headache, vestibular issues.Posted on Google Nicole GreenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I first met Michael when I was struggling with persistent vertigo. I had already seen multiple practitioners, but none had been able to identify the real cause or offer any meaningful relief. From my very first session with Michael, things changed. He quickly diagnosed the underlying issue and guided me through treatment that genuinely made a difference. I’m incredibly grateful for his expertise, care, and the support he provided. Thank you so much, MichaelPosted on Google Sarah McGroryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been experiencing occipital neuralgia for over two years. Over several treatments Michael helped with my associated neck tension issues. I still experience some allodynia which I am treating with low dose medication under the guidance of my GP and neurologist. My neck tension has greatly improved.

I came to Michael’s clinic after trying so many different approaches for my daily headaches and migraines. His is the first that’s actually worked. The frequency, severity, and duration of my migraines have improved so much, and for the first time I feel hopeful they’ll eventually stop altogether.

Neck pain gone... I'm delighted. Excellent work by Michael!Posted on Google Jack CooganTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience here was awesome. Michael is a super knowledgeable guy that helped me with my neck that I had compressed on my surfboard. I was getting constant headaches and with four visits he got rid of them by moving my neck into place. If you’re getting constant headaches I highly recommend!
We understand how frustrating and debilitating Menstrual headaches are
What is Menstrual Migraine?
The American National Headache Foundation states women experience migraine attacks three times more frequently than men; and menstrual migraine affects 60% of these women. They can occur during the five days starting two days before onset of menstruation until the third day of bleeding, immediately after the period, or during ovulation.
Menstrual migraine symptoms are similar to migraine without aura. It can be one-sided or both sides; throbbing headache accompanied by nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to bright lights and sounds. An aura may precede the menstrual migraine.
Safe & Fast
All techniques involve targeted, slow and sustained pressure. There is NO manipulation (cracking) of the spine.

100% Natural
No drugs, needles, toxic chemicals or side-effects. Just correcting a previously misunderstood fault in biomechanics.
Types of Menstrual Migraine
1. Pure Menstrual Migraine:
Migraine headaches are strictly limited to the peri-menstrual time period and do not occur at other times of the month.
2. Menstrually Related Migraine:
Must have an onset during the peri-menstrual time period (two days before to three days after the onset of menstruation) but other attacks may occur at other times of the menstrual cycle.
