More Than A Migraine
For Heather Moury , DO , AQH , who practices with St . Clair Medical Group Neurology , one of the most important things is distinguishing that a migraine is much more than just a headache — and far more common than most people think .
“ A migraine is severe unilateral , throbbing , debilitating pain with associated symptoms ranging from sensitivity to light and sound to nausea , vomiting , numbness , and dizziness ,” she says . “ Migraines are worsened with movement and make it difficult to keep up with everyday life .”
One of Dr . Moury ’ s main goals is to help erase the stigma around migraines by showcasing not just how common and disabling they can be but communicating a message of hope to those who are suffering . The first step is to seek treatment .
“ We build your care around you at St . Clair ,” Dr . Moury says . “ And that starts with your overall health and lifestyle — the combination of factors from family history through exercise , sleep , and hydration that all play a critical role in how you feel and how your body reacts to stress . That gives us a baseline to come back to and evaluate further based on how you respond to personalized treatment protocols .” “ Migraines are challenging , and frustration can easily set in ,” she says . “ I love the mystery of diagnosing migraines and understanding patients as a whole , because no two people are alike .” Dr . Moury adds , “ It is rewarding to find a treatment plan for a patient that can make a huge difference in their quality of life .” If headache pain disrupts your day , you are not alone . While many of us experience occasional headaches that may resolve on their own or with pain relievers , some individuals face frequent or prolonged headaches with intense pain . If you are struggling with headaches or migraines , it may be worthwhile to consult with your primary care physician or a neurologist like Dr . Moury .
