Migraine Relief Q&A
How do I know if I have migraines?
Most people think of migraines as an incredibly bad headache. While head pain is certainly the leading symptom of a migraine attack, migraines are actually a collection of neurological symptoms.
Some of the signs of migraines include:
- Seeing bright spots or flashes of light
- Nausea
- A sensation of weakness or numbness on one side of your face or body
- Difficulty speaking
- Throbbing or pulsing head pain
- Temporary vision loss
- Increased sensitivity to light
Some people experience changes like fluid retention, increased urination, or mood swings in the hours or days preceding a migraine attack.
How can infusion therapy help reduce my migraine pain?
Infusion therapy is one of the most popular treatments for migraine pain. This simple treatment uses a needle and medical tubing to deliver a blend of nutrients directly into your bloodstream.
Many migraine treatments include vitamin B2 and magnesium, both of which are known to combat migraine pain. In fact, magnesium deficiency is thought to be a root cause of migraines, so restoring optimal levels can go a long way toward relieving the condition. Vitamin B2 is thought to lessen both the length and intensity of migraine attacks.
Of course, the instant hydration boost that comes with infusions can also play a role in reducing migraine pain. Once your hydration is restored, embracing a solid habit of drinking water throughout each day can help you maintain proper hydration levels.
How long will it take for migraine relief results to kick in?
Many people report almost immediate pain relief when having vitamin intravenous (IV) infusion therapy. This is likely due to the immediate hydrating effects, as people who experience migraines are also plagued with nausea in the hours leading up to the event and often dehydrated.
For others, migraine pain eases more gradually over the hours after a treatment session. Some people find that their discomfort eases more rapidly, and they achieve full relief faster after infusion therapy.
If you’d like to give IV infusion therapy a try, scheduling a visit is easy. You can always call to see if a same-day appointment is available or use the online booking tool to find a time that fits your schedule.
