Migraine Protocol
Migraine Treatment
Migraines can be debilitating, affecting every aspect of a person’s life. At Sana Physician Group, Dr. Philip Kuan offers a specialized migraine protocol designed to reduce the frequency and severity of migraines using Botox injections. This FDA-approved treatment has become a reliable solution for chronic migraine sufferers, offering relief where other medications may have fallen short. By targeting specific trigger points around the head and neck, Dr. Kuan provides a personalized approach to migraine management.
Botox for migraines works by blocking the release of chemicals that transmit pain signals to the brain. It is injected into specific areas of the forehead, temples, neck, and shoulders where tension builds and triggers migraines. These injections help relax muscles and reduce the overactivity of nerves, preventing the onset of migraines before they even start. Dr. Kuan’s expertise ensures that the injections are precisely administered for maximum effectiveness, providing patients with long-term relief.
The migraine protocol at Sana Physician Group involves a series of small injections given every three months, with each session lasting about 15 to 30 minutes. Most patients begin to see a reduction in the number of headache days within two to three weeks after the first treatment. Over time, many patients experience a dramatic decrease in the frequency and intensity of their migraines, allowing them to regain control of their daily lives.
For individuals who suffer from chronic migraines—defined as experiencing 15 or more headache days per month—this protocol can be life-changing. Many patients report improved productivity, better sleep, and a significant reduction in migraine-related symptoms like nausea and sensitivity to light. Dr. Kuan works closely with each patient to monitor their progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed, ensuring long-lasting relief.
Botox for migraines is not only effective but also a safe treatment option. The injections are minimally invasive, with little to no downtime required. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure. Additionally, Botox has a well-established safety profile, with very few side effects when administered by an experienced physician like Dr. Kuan. At Sana Physician Group, patients can feel confident that they are receiving top-tier care in a comfortable and supportive environment.
For those who have tried other treatments without success, the migraine protocol at Sana Physician Group offers a new avenue for relief. With Dr. Philip Kuan’s expertise and the proven efficacy of Botox, migraine sufferers can experience a significant improvement in their quality of life, free from the constant burden of chronic headaches.
