Migraine and Headache
Living with migraines is more than just enduring headaches—it’s facing a condition that can disrupt work, relationships, and the ability to enjoy daily life. At the Functional Neurology Brain Center of Florida, care begins with you. Every migraine experience is unique, so we take the time to understand how your symptoms show up, how often they occur, and how they affect your daily rhythm.
Migraines can feel unpredictable and overwhelming, but with careful evaluation we can uncover triggers and patterns that guide effective care. Our approach is personalized to reduce both the intensity and frequency of episodes, helping you regain a greater sense of stability, energy, and confidence. Whether you live with occasional migraines or chronic, long-standing patterns, our focus is on support that feels compassionate, manageable, and sustainable. Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all, and together, we work toward a better quality of life—one small step at a time.
Areas of focus:
-
Recurring or chronic headaches
-
Visual disturbances (aura, light sensitivity)
-
Nausea or dizziness with migraines
-
Neck or facial pain linked to flare-ups
-
Fatigue or brain fog during and after attacks
-
Stress, mood changes, or sleep disruptions related to migraine
How We Support Patients with Migraine
Functional neurology, utilizing targeted therapeutics, promotes the brain’s natural neuroplasticity to rewire dysfunctional neural pathways specifically in the brainstem that may contribute to migraine symptoms. Restoring and enhancing brain activity in under functioning regions is the ultimate goal. This approach not only reduces the frequency and intensity of migraines but also promotes long-term neurological balance and resilience.
Treatment may include lifestyle and trigger management strategies, visual-motor activities, and gentle coordination exercises. A key tool we use is Trans-Cranial Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tcVNS), a non-invasive therapy that delivers mild electrical pulses through the skin to stimulate the vagus nerve. This process helps regulate brain activity, reduce pain signals, and encourage neuroplasticity—making it especially effective for patients living with migraines.
Our approach begins with a detailed, non-invasive assessment to identify where support is most needed—whether that’s reducing headache frequency, managing visual sensitivity, or improving recovery after migraine episodes. We take time to understand your comfort levels and goals so that each step of care fits your capacity and supports your journey toward lasting relief.
