What Are the Benefits of Functional Approaches to Treating Migraines?

What to Expect During a Functional Migraine Session
If you’ve never had a functional migraine session, you might be wondering what to expect during your first appointment. A certified practitioner at One Source Integrative Medicine will begin by asking you a comprehensive set of questions to determine your current health, including your emotional and mental well-being.
From there, your doctor will prescribe one or several forms of treatment depending on your symptoms and lifestyle. Most plans involve recurring sessions that last between 30 to 60 minutes in length and last for several weeks. While patients may feel an immediate reduction in intensity and frequency of their migraines, most continue treatment to maintain their quality of life.
