May brings warmer weather, blooming flowersâand the well-deserved celebration of Motherâs Day. It also marks a seasonal shift that many welcome, but for some, especially women, it can bring a less pleasant visitor: migraines.
Springâs changes in temperature, sunlight, and pollen levels can all be common migraine triggers. Women are three times more likely than men to suffer from migraines, in part due to hormonal fluctuations, which can make this time of year especially challenging for moms.
Migraines are more than just headaches. They involve a complex chain of events in the brain, including cellular changes, nerve activity, and muscle tension that lead to intense pain. While environmental and hormonal triggers are common, stress and poor sleep can also play a role.
This May, as we celebrate mothers, letâs also show compassion for those silently managing migraines and offer support in meaningful ways.
Relief Is Possible
Many non-medical strategies can ease migraine symptoms: resting in a dark room, meditation, massage, acupuncture, and maintaining healthy habits like exercise, good sleep, and nutrition.
For more persistent migraines, FDA-approved medications are available. However, one of my goals is to help patients manage migraines with minimal medication.
I am a Board Certified Neurologist at Skin Rehab Aesthetics, I specialize in migraine prevention using neurotoxins like Botox and Xeomin. This treatment is more than cosmeticâitâs medically proven to reduce migraines. These injections are not just placed in the common cosmetic areas, but also in key muscles: the temples, back of the head, neck, and trapezius (the shoulder muscles). Most patients experience relief for three to four months.
If you or someone you love struggles with migraines, come in for a free consultation.
Letâs find a solution that brings lasting reliefâbecause moms deserve to feel their best.
