Migraines and Headache Conditions

Migraines are very common in Calgary. From chinook winds to cold snaps - our city is challenging for those suffering from migraines and headache conditions.  

Discover relief and support for chronic migraine disease through our specialized massage therapy and acupuncture services in Calgary, Alberta. We understand that migraine attacks are not merely headaches, but a neurological condition that can profoundly impact an individual's quality of life. We prefer to use the proper term to address the condition, Migraine disease, to fully validate the severity of the condition and we are advocates for public education on the disease.  Our goal is to provide comprehensive care and support to help patients manage their conditions effectively.

Our team is extensively trained in migraine disease and understands its complex nature. Our founder, Jess, is a leading expert for therapists in Alberta, having lectured and taught courses on the topic. We work collaboratively with patients to develop individualized treatment plans that address their unique symptoms and triggers. Our focus extends beyond pain relief, aiming to decrease the frequency and intensity of migraine attacks.

Massage therapy and acupuncture offer significant benefits for those with chronic migraine disease. Massage therapy can help alleviate muscle tension, reduce stress, and promote relaxation, all of which can contribute to migraine management. Our targeted treatments address the muscles and nerves that have been found to be directly linked to migraine disease.  

Acupuncture stimulates the body's natural healing response, rebalances energy flow, and helps regulate neurological pathways associated with migraines. Dr. Robin utilizes traditional acupuncture to address sleep patterns, decreasing the sympathetic nervous system, lowering stress and regulating hormones - all aiming to decrease the number of attacks for her patients. She also incorporates IMS (dry needling) into treatments for migraine patients, targeting neck muscles and the jaw to decrease pain.

Our team is also experienced with:

  • Tension headaches

  • Cluster headaches

  • Occipital neuralgia

  • Cervical spine headaches

  • Hormonal headaches

  • Chronic daily headaches

For added convenience and comfort, we offer mobile massage therapy and acupuncture services. This allows patients to receive treatment in the familiar surroundings of their own home. We understand that the ability to access care from the comfort of your own space can be beneficial, especially during migraine attacks.
