What We Do
Manage The Pain From Chronic Migraines Today
Chronic migraines are defined as migraines that occur more than 15 days a month and can last from four hours to as long as three days. Symptoms vary but often include blurred vision, neck pain, nausea, sensitivity to light, throbbing pain, and head pain. Such symptoms can make it difficult to do anything active, much less get out of bed.
The constant pain and discomfort brought by this condition can be enormously debilitating, especially since migraines can appear with little to no warning, leaving you incapacitated and unable to function normally for hours — sometimes even days.
Nobody wants to feel the pain, discomfort, and frustration that comes with migraine headaches, especially not on a regular basis. Our team can use methods like botox injections to help you reduce the frequency of your migraines as well as the duration and intensity of your symptoms.
We provide innovative approaches to managing pain associated with chronic migraines and headaches.
- Continued high frequency of migraines
- Persistent severe pain and discomfort
- Limited access to innovative pain management techniques
- Lack of structured support and personalized care
- Significant reduction in migraine frequency
- Decrease in intensity of migraine symptoms

How Can We Help You?
What Causes Pain From Chronic Migraines?
Approximately 12 percent of the population experiences migraine headaches, with 3 to 5 percent of Americans suffering from chronic migraines and headaches. While the exact cause of migraines remains unknown, several factors are believed to contribute to their development and intensity.
These factors include stress, hormonal changes, certain medications, weather changes, specific foods or drinks, and sleep disturbances.
When episodic migraines become more frequent, they can develop into chronic migraines. Various factors can lead to chronic migraines, such as obesity, disrupted sleep patterns, mood disorders, emotional stress, and caffeine intake.
Additionally, the overuse of medications for treating episodic migraines and headaches can also contribute to the development of chronic migraines.
The NextPain Care Approach For Chronic Migraines And Headaches
At NextPain Care, we are dedicated to providing a comprehensive and empathetic approach to managing chronic migraines and headaches. We understand the significant impact that chronic migraines can have on your daily life, and we are here to offer effective, minimally invasive treatments tailored to your unique needs.
Our approach combines evidence-based modalities and a supportive environment to ensure the welfare for our patients.
Mindfulness and Meditation for Chronic Pain
Mindfulness and meditation are powerful tools for managing chronic pain, including migraines. These practices help patients develop coping strategies to manage stress, which is a common trigger for migraines. By promoting relaxation and reducing stress levels, mindfulness and meditation can lessen the intensity and frequency of migraine episodes.
Botox injections have been found to be an effective treatment for chronic migraines. Botox works by blocking the release of certain chemicals that are involved in pain transmission, thereby reducing the frequency and severity of migraine attacks. This treatment is typically administered every 12 weeks and can provide significant relief for many patients.
Nerve blocks are another effective option for managing chronic migraine pain. This procedure involves injecting an anesthetic near specific nerves to block pain signals from reaching the brain. Nerve blocks can provide significant relief and are often used when other treatments have not been effective.
Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat to disrupt pain signals traveling through the nerves. This treatment can be particularly beneficial for patients who have not responded to other modalities. By targeting specific nerves responsible for transmitting migraine pain, radiofrequency ablation can provide long-term relief for many patients.
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an innovative treatment option for chronic migraines. This technique involves implanting a small device near the spinal cord, which sends electrical impulses to interfere with pain signals before they reach the brain. By modulating pain signals, SCS can greatly reduce the frequency and intensity of migraine episodes.
Trigger point injections involve the injection of a local anesthetic directly into the muscle areas that are causing pain. For chronic migraine sufferers, these trigger points can be areas of muscle tension in the head, neck, or shoulders. The injections help to relax these muscles and reduce pain, providing relief from migraine symptoms.
