Headache & Migraine Treatment Experts in Canton, GA

One treatment protocol for headache employs a device called the Tx360, which administers nerve Tx360blocks, using an anesthetic solution, to the nasal pathways. This is a simple painless procedure that takes less than a minute. The Mi-Rx protocol, as it is called, most effectively treats atypical face pain, trigeminal neuralgia, as well as cluster, tension, and migraine headaches.

A number of factors may trigger migraines and headaches including:

Hormonal changes in women – Fluctuations in estrogen seem to trigger headaches in many women with a history of migraines. Many report headaches immediately before or during their periods. Some women during pregnancy or menopause have an increased tendency to develop migraines.

Taking hormonal medications – Women who take oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy and who have a history of frequent headaches or migraines must be monitored more closely than usual.

Foods – Aged cheeses, salty foods and processed foods may trigger migraines. Skipping meals or fasting also can trigger attacks.

Food additives – The sweetener aspartame and the preservative monosodium glutamate, found in many foods, may trigger migraines.

Drinks – Alcohol, especially wine, diet drinks with aspartame and highly caffeinated beverages may trigger migraines.

Stress – Stress at work or home can cause migraines.

Sensory stimuli – Bright or flashing lights and sun glare can induce migraines, as can loud sounds. Unusual smells — including perfume, paint thinner, secondhand smoke and others — can trigger migraines in some people.

Changes in wake-sleep pattern – Missing sleep or getting too much sleep may trigger migraines in some people, as can jet lag.

Physical factors – Intense physical exertion, including sexual activity, may provoke migraines in some people.

Changes in the environment – A change of weather or barometric pressure can prompt a migraine.

Medications – Oral contraceptives and vasodilators, such as nitroglycerin, can aggravate migraines. Read medication warnings and side effects carefully as many list migraines and headaches as risks.
