I’ve been seeing Kevin Go at Spring Hill and he has changed my life from the very first treatment.

I have...had Vestibular Migraine since February 2024, and back pain for over 40 years. VM had taken the joy out of my life, with visual aura, migraines, dizziness, and fatigue. I had no energy to do even the simplest of daily tasks. Kevin has been treating both the VM and the cause of the back pain.

When I read the reviews I thought they sounded too good to be true, but I was feeling at such a low point I considered I had nothing to lose. I now have energy and feel like “me” again. I had previously asked my neurologist if this would ever happen, and his reply didn’t suggest it ever would.

I have energy, the migraines have dramatically reduced, the dizziness has reduced, and I’m continuing treatment with Kevin for further results. I have not had back pain and the treatments are treating the cause of the back pain.
Thank you Kevin!read more

I'm being treated by Kevin.
I'm very happy with the genuine care provided and the relief I've experienced. I...haven't needed my previous migraine medication since being treated at this clinic. I also have not experienced a migraine since treatment commenced. As a long-term migraine sufferer whom of late was suffering migraines in consecutive days and migraine medication was not effective, I was getting desperate to eliminate these painful episodes. Needless to say I'm very thankful and would highly recommend this clinic.

Many thanks

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude and provide glowing feedback for Bryan Wong at the Brisbane Migraine and...Headache Clinic. Over the past month, both my daughter and I have experienced a remarkable transformation in our quality of life, thanks to his exceptional care and treatment for our chronic migraines.

Bryan is not only a highly skilled professional but also a compassionate and attentive practitioner. His kind, considerate, and polite demeanour instantly put us at ease, creating a safe and supportive environment for treatment. His superb bedside manner and gentle approach were a perfect complement to his effective and targeted therapies.

Initially, I wasn’t sure if the therapy he recommended would succeed in alleviating our migraine symptoms and pain. I am delighted to say I was wrong. The treatment has been exceptional—while it may not have entirely eliminated all headaches, any we do experience are now very mild and brief, rather than ongoing and debilitating and I have not had a 'full-blown migraine' (with auras, light-sensitivity, nausea) since undertaking the treatment.

I cannot recommend both him and the Brisbane Migraine and Headache Clinic highly enough - the receptionist staff are all delightful, compassionate and helpful, too.

If you are struggling with migraines and seeking a caring and professional practitioner who truly makes a difference, look no further. Thank you, Bryan, for your expertise, kindness, and the positive impact you’ve had on our lives.read more

I have been struggling with migraines with aura, vestibular migraines and chronic headaches. I had tried triptans,...injections, infusions, and acupuncture. This is the only treatment that has helped me - my photophobia is completely gone, and I haven’t had a migraine since. I am forever grateful to this clinic, I have been able to do much more with my life now that my pain and light sensitivity has decreased.read more

I have been getting treatment for a couple of weeks now from this clinic with Mattias, and although the sessions are...expensive and I was initially unsure of how success they would be, I have to say that it has been worth it there has been such a significant improvement in my headaches so far. Their techniques seem to be working and my tension headaches have almost completely gone and when I do get them they are noticeably less intense or they don’t last as long. Hoping that with continued sessions this will be the end of my headaches.read more

I would recommend to anyone who suffers from migraines to give Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic a go.
I have...gone from having in average a migraine a week to less than one every 2-3 months. My migraines are from a neck/ shoulder injury.
My first initial appointment with practitioner Mattias McAndrew made me feel he understood my concerns/issues. Which is extremely important and worked out an unusual therapy for me! It given me a renewed interest in life. I am achieving new heights and experiences from the results of my visits.
Would highly recommend.read more

I have been seeing Dr. Woo for about 6 months now and he has been helping me manage my migraines fantastically.
I...used to get on average 2 migraines a month, now I have gone 4 months with no migraines.

The cause of my migraines was very quickly diagnosed and its clear the team here prioritise the goal of self management, not the reliance on medication and continuous appointments.

Sinead Prince

I was suffering from a terrible cluster headache period and upon my very first treatment with Piumi, I haven't had a...single headache reaching the same 10/10 pain again. It's been two weeks and multiple sessions, but I have my life back already and am treating my headaches with either caffeine or aspirin. I go several days without them now and I cannot thank Piumi enough.read more

Leisa Burdette

When I first met Piumi at the Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic I was experiencing a cocktail of god awful symptoms...like constant head pain + pressure, that included feeling dizzy, disconnected and a roaring/static sensations in the head, to the point where it made me tired and often times nauseous. I couldn't focus which made it very difficult for me to work or do day-to-day tasks. By the time I found the clinic I'd had MRI, CT's, seen Neurologists and other specialist.
So you can imagine just how RELIEVED I was to find something that worked........ and worked really rather quickly. I'm so grateful to see that all my nasty symptoms have now been kicked to the curb!
I'm no longer weighed down, I'm so much happier and back to working full time.
And can I say......Piumi listened !! so many of the medical profession only half listened or just presumed things. Piumi just took it all in, heard all the details of MY experience and treated MY situation with individual care.
I can't tell you how good it feels to be back to normal.

So don't think about it... GO... try it...... you'll be as happy as I am that you did. No more pain, no more despair. Live againread more

Rebecca Agius

From the get-go I've found the staff at Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic to be really understanding and...professional. I flew from Rockhampton in search of answers after nine years of intensive tension headaches, Migraine, and nausea that have been ruling my life. After both a Neurologist and Neurosurgeon reached the end of their skill-sets and gave up on me in the past year I googled and found Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic and decided to give them a go. Piumi was very professional and compassionate for what I've been going through and she believed me when I told her that I think it's all coming from my neck. She was able to very gently recreate the pain to determine that she had found the source of the headaches. She performed a treatment on me in that first appointment and for the first time in nearly a decade, I was headache free for weeks on end, with the occasional day here and there that I needed pain relief in the weeks after that. Since there are no practitioners of the technique needed to treat my neck in my hometown, Piumi has been willing to work closely with a Physio closer to my home in between times when I can make it to Brisbane for treatment with her, for which I am truly grateful! It's no exaggeration to say that meeting Piumi and the team at Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic has changed my life infinitely for the better. Thank you so much for everything!

Highly recommend! I have been seeing Piumi to work on the headaches I've been dealing with for a while and she is an...amazing and caring practitioner! It improved within the first few sessions which has helped a lot! It was good to hear the details about what's been causing my headaches and getting the proper treatment and advice.read more

Could not recommend this clinic or Dr. Piumi enough. For the last few years (about 4) I have suffered from painful,...chronic tension headaches & migraines affecting my vision, causing nausea and if you suffer from them you know how much they take away from your life. I have cried tears of happiness with the appreciation I have for Dr. Piumi & how she has helped me gain my life back after only 4-5 appointments! I now only have one headache maybe once a week or two that quickly finish. Which in comparison to previously, mine would last for hours, days, sometimes even a week. I could even go to sleep & wake up with the same one no matter what I tried. I exhausted all my options before coming here & I wish I went sooner! You will not regret coming here. They will change your life.read more

Rodney Wallis

Absolutely astounded with the results of Piumi Herath treatment. I was having migraines on an average of one every...month for about . 20 years. Piumis manipulation treatment really produced the positive results I was looking for. No pharmacy drug has ever matched Piumi's treatment. My last migraine was in mid January. It is now mid June. On a lighter note, I have nicknamed Piumi, ASPRO.
Thanks ASPRO for a job well done and relieved me of the debilitating effects of crippling migraines.read more

Candice Delofski

1685873253

Working with Piumi these last few months has been amazing.
I have suffered with Migraines and incapacitating...headaches for the last 10+ years. I had started to believe that I would never work a normal week.
Through weekly, then fortnightly appointments she has assisted me with learning stretches, desensitisation and minor adjustments.
It’s this combo that has taken my migraines from daily, to weekly.
It’s been a change that has allowed me to be consistent with my work, and to become more involved in my family.
If you are interested in a non- drug relief option, I highly suggest giving this clinic a try!read more

I have Occipital Neuralgia ( chronic pain and headaches daily). It is a very difficult condition to treat and after...multiple treatments, procedures and seeing many physiotherapists, I have finally found a clinic that has given me some relief. Some relief is huge to me. I felt an instant feeling of being in good hands following my first appointment. I saw Mattais, he was thorough, professional, knowledgeable and best of all empathetic. He was also the first professional to explain to me why i have facial pain and how to manage my tense painful jaw.
I travel about 4 hrs in total to see him so he must be good. The receptionists are lovely and you are made to feel very welcome at the clinic, it's a great team environment and i am very appreciative of all their help.read more

I was only able to have 6 treatments over two weeks but I feel so much better already. I do believe that my migraines and headaches are on the way to being cured permanently. Thank you so much to all at BHMC!read more
