How Treatment Works

 

A course of treatment involves a minimum of two treatments per week. The treatments may be received more frequently eg. 2-3 treatments per day (there must be a minimum of two and a half hours between treatments). This “stacking” of treatments is useful for those that are traveling a great distance to receive treatment. This increased frequency of treatment will shorten the number of weeks that treatment is needed.

 

The treatment that is administered at the Ontario Migraine Clinic is a form of acupuncture that is only offered at two clinics worldwide. The Ontario Migraine Clinic has been awarded as the most successful migraine clinic in the world. This award was received in December 2000 from The Open University of Complementary Medicine.

 

There is no contra-indication for receiving this treatment, and it will not interfere with any other treatments that are being received.

 

Treatment Protocol

 

Initial Consultation :

 

• Completion of assessment forms

• Registration in the clinic

• Review of assessment forms with practitioner

• Review of any previous assessment material,x-rays, reports, etc.

• Physical assessment

• Discussion of findings

• Explanation of treatment required (10-12 weeks on average)

• Commencement of treatment program

• Review of post treatment findings and discussion of expectations

 

Second visit until re-evaluation

 

From the initial consultation to the re-evaluation there will be a progression in the treatments administered ie., each treatment builds upon the last.

 

Until treatments are completed, migraines may persist, but the frequency and intensity will diminish as the program advances

 

Re-evaluation

 

Another assessment is done at this point. Migraines have been eliminated at this point. A few individuals that may still be experiencing some symptoms may require some additional treatment.

 

Completion of Treatment

 

Once the treatment program is completed, there will be several follow- up sessions to insure that the individual maintains the gains that they have achieved.

 

What Now?

 

Upon completing the program, when proper health is regained, you may choose to periodically have a check up. This is a valuable investment of your time and is advised. Good health is our choice!
