How a victim of migraine have benefited from the University of Manchester Migraine trial using the 'Watson Headache Approach'

"I'm really stuck in a rut. I could not do anything without causing a headache, "said Ms. Lord, who also suffered from a stiff neck and described with a fuzzy head" most of the time.

Until she was invited to take part in the first study in the United Kingdom to determine whether a particular technique of physiotherapy could help manage migraine (see construction of the database).

After completing a patient diary and screening to eliminate other possible causes of headaches, Ms. Lord has offered a series of six treatments of physiotherapy. She said: "I felt a difference after the first treatment. I'm on my fifth and now with everyone my headaches were better and better ... I'm always the intruder, but now I can run and play with children. "

It is aware of other effects too. "I feel as if I had a great spring cleaning in my head. The colors are really vibrant, and when I went shopping the other day, I noticed that I was not getting confused, "she said.

Quoted in Frontline Magazine, June 17, 2009, the official journal of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy in the UK, entitled "When Headache is a pain in the neck" by Louise Hunt.

YourHeadacheSoultions.co.uk is a voice of the Watson Institute headaches.

Watson Headache Institute was created to increase awareness of cervicogenic (neck) headache disorders and migraine in transmitting my (and others) experience and clinical knowledge, to present and discuss past and present relevant research and to undertake and sustain rigorous clinical and scientific research in this specialty.

Appropriate and current knowledge is self-accountability, I think all headache patient has the right to know their diagnosis of headache as accurately as possible (and what that means), to ascertain the nature of their headache disorder, its results and possible types of treatment.

What has yet to gain acceptance is my (and others) belief, supported by my clinical experience unparalleled and an important body of international research, it is wrong to treat headache and migraine types as entities totally different and cervicogenic (neck) disorders may play a role in the process of headaches and migraines.

Although physical therapy, chiropractic, osteopathy, are different disciplines, we support the idea that headache and migraine, irrespective of their diagnosis, can be helped to live their lives more effectively through a appropriate treatment of the neck. However, because treatment of the neck does not match the medical model of headache and migraine, the model has shown little interest in exploring this possibility. It is essential that all factors have the potential to sensitize the brain stem, a survey also. Currently this is not the case - the neck is largely unknown.

Thus, while YourHeadacheSolutions.com is also about education, it is also a directory for migraine headaches and practitioners from the source that have a particular interest and are qualified for consideration by the neck as a source of your headache or migraine - to create a more holistic approach and offer an alternative, without medication.

uring the last 15 years I have developed a series of techniques which, by way of temporary reproduction of headaches and relaxation of headache as a technique is supported, confirming that disorder of the neck is the cause or a factor important in the mechanism of the headache or migraine - the key criterion for the diagnosis involvement cervicogenic or neck headache after.
