Migraine Headache Treatment in Bangkok
A Holistic Treatment Program That Targets The Root Causes Of Migraine And Minimizes Medication.
Migraine headaches can severely disrupt your daily life. Migraine often presents as a pain concentrated on one side of the head, though it may shift from one side to the other. Accompanying symptoms can include eye pain, pressure on the forehead, light sensitivity, nausea, and vomiting. For women, it is common to experience migraines during menstruation, and the pain can be so debilitating that it hinders both daily activities and sleep.
At Form Recovery and Wellness, our treatment program is designed to address the underlying causes of migraines using a holistic approach while minimizing the use of medication. The program is led by experts in both Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Applied Thai Traditional Medicine (ATTM) for maximum effectiveness.

Program Details
Our Migraine Treatment Program consists of the following:
- Acupressure: This involves applying pressure to specific trigger points or areas with muscle tension to help balance the body's internal systems and relieve muscle pain associated with migraines.
- Hijama/Wet Cupping: This is the process of drawing stagnant or toxic blood from specific points on the body, promoting blood circulation and balancing the immune system to alleviate migraine pain.
- Movement Therapy: This includes exercise or basic movement therapies to improve movement patterns, prevent and treat muscle tension in areas like the neck, shoulders, and back, which can contribute to migraine headaches.
- Acupuncture: This involves inserting thin needles into various points on the body. These are believed to help relax internal organs and muscles, stimulate blood and hormone flow, and restore balance to the body's systems.
- Cupping Therapy: Special cups are placed on your skin to create a vacuum, stimulating blood flow and balance in the body, thereby relieving muscle tension and promoting relaxation.
- Thai and Chinese Medicines: Herbal remedies are prescribed based on an individual's diagnosis and the nature of their migraine symptoms.
These treatments aim to alleviate migraine symptoms, reduce the use of medication and chemicals, and provide a natural, holistic approach to migraine management.

Before And After Your Treatment
Before treatment:
Get enough rest and try to get at least 6 hours of sleep. Ensure you drink enough water; as a general guideline you should aim to drink 30 to 35 milliliters of water for every kilogram of body weight.
After treatment:
Drink at least half a liter of water within 1 hour after the treatment. You might notice bruising at the acupressure or acupuncture points; this is normal and will fade naturally over time. If you underwent cupping therapy, avoid scrubbing the treated area with soap.
