I've had migraines weekly for over 10 years with no real relief from any prescription medication or help from medical... practitioners, until i saw Dr Mattias. He has been an incredible help in finding the reason behind my migraines and is now in the process of fixing them.I would highly recommend giving Brisbane Migraine and Headache Clinic if you are suffering from any sort of mirgaines.read more

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

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

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

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

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 very impressed with the professionalism of the BHMC. Prior to my visit (and we travelled from Victoria for the... treatment) the staff were helpful and friendly. We recommend the Clinic just for the high level of customer service...even before the treatment! Piumi Herath was wonderful and very efficient. She was a delight to see each visit. 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

Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic has been an absolute life saver for me. When I came in I was suffering from... frequent and debilitating headaches and migraines. The staff are very friendly here and Mattias the head practitioner is very good at what he does. I am now about 3 weeks headache free when previously they were daily. Highly recommend to anyone suffering from headaches. I’d also recommend the pillow as this has helped dramatically. I found it very uncomfortable at first, but now I can’t sleep without and I don’t wake up with a headache or stiff neck anymore.read more

David Appleby has a caring, gentle manner yet is knowledgeable, competent and open minded. He has a wholistic approach... in that he looks at your whole life and habits – stress, sleeping habits and position, posture, fitness, everything and I think having this multi-pronged approach to tackle serious issues like migraines and vertigo is crucial. There seems to be a lot of confusion and misinformation surrounding the whole vertigo/migraine biso. I don’t get full-blown debilitating headaches but have had the weird zigzaggy visual aura that often goes hand in hand with migraines. And I have experienced the frightening vertigo that really stopped me in my tracks. I learned from David how important one’s neck and brainstem are and several bad habits (hunching over computer, phone, and while reading) over many years can trigger or exacerbate serious issues like vertigo. He helped me to change several of my bad habits and to protect my neck at all times with a simple exercise that I now do faithfully. The first time I had a full-blown bout of vertigo I was so scared and worried it might be something I’d have to live with and part of getting old, and now I have my mojo back and know I can stay on top of my balance and health by ensuring I continue with a few basic things that David taught me. I am starting a new chapter in my life now that I am retired and I still have a lot of living to do so I am thrilled to be feeling confident that I will be able to travel, cycle, kayak, ski, dance, play pickleball, try jiujitsu and anything else that takes my fancy. Instead of slowing down and having my world become smaller and allowing fear to stop me, I know now there is a lot I can do to control and steer my own future. Thank you, David, for helping me to work out what I need to do! Every client reading this … listen to David, do your homework religiously, and be confident you can get your life back again.read more

David is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and approachable.I had been suffering with shoulder, neck, skull,... head pain, and headaches constantly for years.Eventually I ended up in an emergency ward with vomiting, unable to communicate and walk and no vision. I spent the night in hospital with a tick from the Drs that I had suffered a migraine and good luck in the future.Pain medication hadn’t worked for years. I was exhausted physically and mentally from the daily battle of pain.Within a couple of visits of seeing David my brain-fog and daily pain dramatically decreased whilst my memory, speech, and general daily tasks and mood improved.I’ve tried many other therapies over many years.This is, by far, the only one that has worked for me.I can not recommend David any more highly.On top of that he’s just an all round nice guy.Thank you for giving me my life back.read more

I suffered from episodic cluster headaches for 2 years before my wife found these guys one night as I was thrashing in... agony on our couch. 2 years of treatment later and it has been 12 months since my last cluster headache. DO NOT SUFFER THROUGH THE PAIN! Give these guys a go! It is not a miracle cure but it has certainly worked for me and I hope it will work for you too because no one deserves to suffer through any form of pain similar to what cluster headaches put you through.read more

I highly recommend this clinic, and in particular Ariel to anyone experiencing headaches/migraines. I had been... experiencing chronic headaches/migraines, had seen several specialists and physios with no results until coming to this clinic. Ariel is absolutely fantastic. She is patient, considerate, punctual, warm and friendly. She always puts your health first; never pressuring more treatments than required. She is extremely helpful and always promptly responds to emails. Ariel always made each treatment enjoyable, with her tv series/movies recommendations, suggestions for fun things to do in brissy etc, without ever getting distracted or compromising the effectiveness of the treatment. Ariel has single handedly significantly reduced my headaches and I am beyond grateful for her service.read more

Could not highly recommend David's treatment and care at BHMC more!The reason I seeked out more specialised treatment... was due to suffering with various headache issues that started to significantly impact on my daily life. Medication, self-care, GP advice, home remedies. Nothing was working well enough to keep them at bay.However following the initial consult with David I was put at ease and finally had a diagnosis of what I had been dealing with, tension type headaches accompanied by a 'brain fog feeling behind the forehead. David was able to clearly explain the reasons why I was having these issues, the treatment plan, appointment schedule and long term outlook following treatment.On top of this, David was able to adjust this treatment plan with the fact I was living in Central Qld and not being able to attend appointments in Brisbane regularly.I've only been going to BHMC since October 2021, however I've already noticed a significant change in the level, amount and severity of my headaches. I finally don't live life knowing I'll have to get through any occasion with the possibility of managing a headache, thanks to David.read more
