Calgary – Headaches are commonplace health issues that are often disregarded. But healthcare providers like Divergent Health caution against this, as they can indicate a more serious health condition.
Tension headaches and migraines are the most common types of headaches. Migraines are characterized as severe headaches that are accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and hypersensitivity to light and sound. They usually last between 4 to 72 hours. These are often dismissed, and are only treated with painkillers when needed. However, chronic migraines can impact quality of life and can even be disabling if not treated immediately.

A representative from Divergent Health had this to say, “Treating headaches with painkillers only works in the short-run. These painkillers don’t impact the frequency of the headaches, only their severity.
Avoiding a professional consultation can lead to chronic headaches that are triggered by stress, sleepless nights, and an unhealthy lifestyle, leading to much discomfort.”

While there are several treatments that can alleviate migraine pain and frequency—including medication, behavioural treatments, and more—the use of Neuromodulators for headaches shows much promise, and firms like Divergent Health are spearheading its adoption.

The process involves the use of a neurotoxin, such as Botulinum toxin, to paralyze nerve tissues in the body, which dulls the severity of the pain.

Explaining the process works, the representative continued, “Simply speaking, the neurotoxin is injected into trigger spots to block pain signals from the brain. Consequently, these signals don’t reach the nerve endings in the head and neck area, eliminating pain sensations.

They also work as muscle relaxants and release the tension that causes the migraine.”

The use of Neuromodulators has been approved by the FDA after successful clinical trials. Divergent Health has been using this technology for effective migraine and tension headache treatments. The company has seen promising results so far.

The treatment is generally administered to patients who are 18 years of age and those who suffer from chronic headaches that last for more than 15 days. Additionally, it is administered to patients with a family history of migraines or if oral medication doesn’t work.
