HEADACHES & MIGRAINES
Headaches and migraines can be profoundly disabling events. They are among the most common neurological disorders, with millions of people experiencing them on a frequent basis.
There are many kinds of headaches, with similar but distinct causes for these varied presentations. At Northwest Functional Neurology, we can help find your distinct cause and form of headache and treat it accordingly.
WHAT IS A MIGRAINE?
Migraine headaches are some of the most common and most disabling neurological disorders, affecting millions of people on a daily basis. Migraines can be debilitating neurological conditions. Migraines are disorders with a diverse array of symptoms, including severe headaches, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, and hypersensitivity to sensory stimuli. In particular, light and sound can severely provoke the pain of a migraine. Migraine can be preceded by an aura, in which one can experience visual symptoms as much as an hour before the migraine pain sets in. Migraines typically affect one side of the face and head and can last for a few minutes, several hours, or even days at a time. During a migraine attack people often need to drop whatever they are doing, seek refuge in a dark, quiet, cool environment, and wait for the symptoms to gradually subside.

OUR TREATMENTS
We design your unique NeuroRescue program to address every structural and neurological factor involved in your headaches. We also evaluate the influences of metabolism, inflammation, and other chemical factors that may be promoting your pain. We evaluate the function of all of the muscles, joints, ligaments, and nerves in your cervical spine and jaw, the neurological mechanisms that control their function, and the central brain and brainstem systems that normally function to shut off pain. We combine all of this information into a comprehensive protocol that gets to the unique root of your problem, address it at a foundational level, and help you rebuild the functional integration necessary for your headaches to finally be resolved.

“Dr. Z has been such a great help for our daughter. She suffered migraines and vertigo from a car accident for two years. She saw many specialists with no help. Dr Z was excited about her puzzling brain and he had the migraines and vertigo fixed in a week. She is still working on several small things but we have our daughter back. He’s the best and we would highly recommend him to anyone with neurological issues.”
