What is a migraine?
A migraine is considered a headache that can cause severe throbbing pain or a pulsing sensation, usually on one side or part of the head. It's often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound.
What causes migraine headaches?
Though migraine causes aren't fully understood, genetics and environmental factors appear to play a role. Triggers of migraine are generally classified as physical or emotional. Emotional triggers such as stress, depression, anxiety, excitement, and shock can trigger a migraine. Physical causes such as tiredness or insufficient sleep, shoulder or neck tension, poor posture, injury, and physical overexertion have all been linked to migraines. Low blood sugar and jet lag can also act as triggers.
How can PEMF therapy at the Pulse Center of Ocala help someone with migraines?
Because of the enigmatic pathophysiology of the migraine (causes and even symptoms vary often without reason), it is difficult to determine exactly how PEMF therapy causes such dramatic relief for the participants in the majority of studies conducted. The cells of the brain rely on electromagnetic impulses to regulate function, which means PEMF therapy creates an environment in the brain in which the cells are stimulated to optimum function.
In 1999, after a series of double-blind placebo-controlled experiments, it was established that PEMF therapy significantly reduced pain from migraine headache in 85% of participants, as well as that in 75% of participants reported a significant decrease in headache activity over the month following the exposure to PEMF.
