I have found several things that are very effective!
The main reason that I dont have migraines anymore is because I got
Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy and then did 500+ hours of training
to become a therapist. NAMTPT web site
http://www.myofascialtherapy.org
Follow the diet restrictions at: Natural treatment for migraine and
depression http://www.MigrainePrevention.org this can make all the
difference (for me the mail concern is peanuts and tomatoes). I was
already migraine free by the time I found them, but I use the diet
and the product in small amounts for depression. I took
antidepressants for 20 years and now take nothing but an occasional
supplement and avoid specific foods.
Lately I stared getting headaches (3 in about 10 days) that would not
respond to OTC NSAID. It took me a bit but I figure that it was the
Aspartame in the mints that I was munching on in large amounts.
Nurtasweet is often the culprit in many misdiagnosed condition,
headache, migraine, fibromyalgia, MS and a few others, I have heard.
I have stopped a clients 5 week long migraine with muscle work inside
her mouth. There are MANY muscles in the neck, shoulders and head
that cause migraine/headache. These are sometimes called tension
headaches and will often last for days. I have been able to get rid
of classic migraines for people also. Myofascial trigger point
therapy, myotherapy, Neuromuscular Technique, Myofasacial release and
if you can not find any of those, find a massage therapist that "does
trigger point". Techniques listed in order of effectiveness INHO, you
should feel results in a treatment or 2.
Dont forget Chiropractic, this is often a big help or cure. Poor
posture and body mechanics can cause problems, so you dont have to be
in an accident to cause structural misalignment or/and trigger points.
In general: There are MANY VERY effective alternative therapies and
preventions for migraines. Sadly, most of them are more work than
many people are willing to put into their own health and so many
people loose out and continue to use ineffective meds (only treat the
symptom)and believe their doc that there is nothing more to do.
Let me know if I can help you after you have done some reading and
need some answers. Best to contact me privately, I often cant keep up
to the list.
None of this is medical advice and if your health should improve due
to your actions after reading this information, it is not my fault.

Does anyone know of an effective, non-drug therapy for the prevention or
alleviation of chronic migraine headaches?
