Paragon Health Group offers our patients in both Newport Beach and Bakersfield migraine treatment solutions proven to deliver consistent results. Reach out to either of our offices to receive compassionate care to see powerful improvements of chronic migraine symptoms.

What Migraine Treatment Options Exist?

The goal of each of our migraine treatment options is to reduce the severity and frequency of migraine attacks. This effect can be accomplished through a variety of treatments, including medication, lifestyle augmentations, and other therapies. Medication is often used to treat acute migraines, which are sudden, severe headaches, using solutions such as triptans or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g., ibuprofen). However, for more chronic conditions, patients may require a more reliable approach that also prevents symptoms before they occur. These options can include:

Botulinum toxin injections
Blood pressure-lowering medication
Calcitonin gene-related peptides (CGRP) monoclonal antibodies
Nerve decompression surgery
And more

Signs You Are a Candidate for Migraine Treatment

Frequent and severe headaches, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light or sound, and other symptoms of a migraine.
A history of migraines that do not improve with over-the-counter medications.
Difficulty participating in daily activities due to chronic headaches.
Pain that is debilitating or prevents you from functioning normally.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, we advise speaking with your doctor or specialist at Paragon Health Group as soon as possible about migraine treatment options. Your physician will perform a physical exam and review your medical history to determine the best course of action for managing your migraines and allowing you to reclaim your quality of life.

Which Migraine Treatment Is Right for You?

The type of treatment that is best for you will depend on your overall health, the severity and frequency of your migraines, and other factors, so each treatment will be unique. Your doctor can help you decide which migraine treatment is ideal for you by evaluating your medical history and discussing the pros and cons of each option.

Some common treatments include lifestyle changes such as reducing stress, eating a healthy diet, and getting enough sleep. Other options include medications, including triptans and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), as well as other therapies such as acupuncture and biofeedback. In some cases, surgery may be an option for treating chronic migraines by focusing on relieving nerve pressure.

How Long Is the Recovery for Migraine Treatment?

Most migraine treatments will rely on either medication or non-invasive techniques, which means there will be no significant recovery period or extended downtime period. However, surgical nerve decompression to relieve migraine trigger points can have a period of recovery following the procedure.

The recovery time for a migraine surgery can vary depending on the extent and unique aspects of the procedure and any underlying medical conditions. Generally, most people experience minimal discomfort and can resume normal activities within a few days, but your surgeon will inform you of your individual plan’s requirements. Your doctor will also provide specific instructions regarding your recovery time based on your procedure’s aspects and adaptive features.

What Results Can I Expect?

The results of migraine treatment will vary depending on the type of treatment received and the cause and severity of your migraine condition. Generally, medications and other therapies can reduce the frequency and severity of migraine and improve quality of life with a high degree of efficacy. Surgery is usually reserved for more severe cases that have not responded to other treatments or lifestyle changes, but we explore all possible treatment options. In these cases, surgery may provide significant relief from chronic headaches. In most cases, improvements are noticeable within days of the procedure, though most patients may only feel the full improvements in the weeks following recovery.
