Since visiting the Brisbane Headache & Migraine Clinic, I've been experiencing severe migraines since my teens, for... over 30 years.

I was also taught how to manage and prevent future migraines with no medication.If you experience migraines and your quality of life is being affected, i would highly recommend you visit the Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic, thank you Sasch!read more

My treatment was very successful. Gone from 3-4 headaches a week to just one here and there. No migraines since we... started. Sasch explained everything really well and was always friendly and professional. He listened to my story and each time I saw him I felt that he remembered where we were at since the last visit. Would highly recommend his services and I will be coming back for maintenance sessions as needed.read more

Amazing results! After experiencing terrible headaches for 3-4 weeks, i booked in with Ariel for a consultation. From... there i saw her 3 times per week and after i short period of time i noticed an incredible reduction in pain levels from my headaches and also a reduction in frequency. Now i feel headache free and only see Ariel once per fortnight just as a preventative measure to stop the headaches from coming back. Highly recommend Ariel if you are experiencing any abnormal headaches than you are used to!read more

My daughter Abbey experiences chronic migraines, typically more than 15 per month. We travel from Tasmania for... treatment with Ariel in 2-3 week blocks for 8 sessions, then try and control the tension and tightness in Abbey’s neck through physiotherapy here, before returning to Ariel 3-4 months later. The treatment by Ariel decreases the frequency and severity of the migraines. Abbey has tried several other methods but in her words, ‘this is the only thing that works’. Ariel’s treatment has been a life changer for Abbey and we highly rate the approach, compassion and professionalism - but of course, the results! We are avid believers in this technique. Thank you Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic!-Dr Cherie Hawkins (PhD)read more

I've suffered from mutliple migraines each month for the past 10 years.In that time, I have used chiropractor's,... physios, acupuncture and massage therapists but these therapies failed to provide any long term relief.After my first appointment with David at the Brisbane Head & Migraine Clinic, he diagnosed what was causing my migraines, began treatment and provided preventative at home exercises which allowed me to have my first experience of being pain free with more than a week between migraine episodes.Since that first appointment, the migraines episodes have been less regular and have been able to come off strong pain killers.I cannot recommend David and the clinic enough to people who experience any type of headache - they have changed my life!read more

’ve had a really positive experience with you guys. Sascha has been my physician. When I first started my treatment, I... was miserable... i was in a lot of pain, and this led me to become more negative. But after the first couple of sessions with Sascha, I felt a huge difference.Several weeks have gone by and I’ve had quite a few treatment sessions with him, and he has completely changed my life back to normal! No pain, no discomfort, I’m finally able to be my happy, positive, energetic self again.I would recommend Sascha to anybody that suffers from migraines, head aches and body pains and injuries.Sascha has helped me get back to dancing again, which is what I love to do.I regularly do exercises that he has given me to do at home, to improve my strength for my neck and injuries.Sascha is a really lovely person who I enjoyed seeing. He always listened to me and carefully tested both my neck injury and foot.Thank you Sascha, and thank you Migraine Team! You have been nothing but fantastic!read more

Life changing! These are the best words to describe what Ariel has done for me! I’ve suffered from cluster headaches... for 14 years. It has affected my work, my family life and the mental strain has certainly taken its toll on me (they aren’t given the nickname “suicide headache for nothing!).I have been to every doctor in the world and tried every medication they’ve prescribed. From food elimination diets to exercise programs. Every year for around 8 weeks, every single day it returned.I had a work colleague pester me for over a year to go to the Brisbane Headache and Migraine clinic. I refused to “try something new”. Then one day, only halfway through my regular season of cluster headaches, I couldn’t stand the pain anymore and called the Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic.From the very first phone call, I knew I was talking to people that actually understood the pain I was going through. I had my first appointment booked with Ariel, but was still as sceptical as ever.I still can’t believe it myself, but from that very first visit, I have not had another cluster headache!!!!! I use to be too scared to go to sleep for fear of a cluster headache 2 hours after going to sleep. I have never been on a holiday or really ventured too far from my house from May til September for the last 14 years! Now my whole life has changed. It’s going on 2 years and I feel like a normal person again.I can’t thank Ariel enough for what she has done for me. These headaches were affecting all aspects of my life, not any more! I highly recommend Ariel and the Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic, from the amazing front desk ladies to the practitioners. And don’t forget to grab yourself a memory foam pillow!read more

I couldn’t recommend Brisbane Migraine Clinic more! I had been suffering from debilitating migraines every month for... almost two years. My doctor kept offering me bandaid solutions (trying to treat it with various medications) and I was feeling really despondent as I wanted to get back to a place where I could be migraine-free without being dependant on medication. Pure serendipity led me to discover Brisbane Migraine Clinic, and my only regret is that I hadn’t found this place sooner! Mattias is brilliant and was able to determine the underlying cause of my migraines in our very first meeting - something that none of my doctors had taken the time to figure out. It’s only been a few months and I can’t believe how drastically my quality of life has improved! I’m pretty sure I cried tears of happiness when the first month passed and I didn’t get a migraine.All their staff are lovely and professional, and Mattias is fantastic! He explained everything clearly so I felt confident and knowledgeable about the treatment and what was causing my issues.If you are thinking of giving up on finding a cure, please don’t! I highly recommend visiting this clinic if you are seeking to help find a natural and effective way to combat your headaches/migraines.read more

I had migraines for the last 22 years, it was last year that it got really worst from august to December, I was really... struggling with the pains. i will get migraines and head aches for 5-6 days straight and it lasted for 10-12 hrs, there are times also that i will woke up in the middle of the night because i was in pain & my shoulder is aching. I was sent by my GP to the emergency hospital twice and was picked up by the ambulance at work becuase i was really in pain and half of my body is numb i couldnt feel it. i had seen a specialist and He told me i had hemiplegic migraine and prescribe me with some medications but its not helping i feel like i was getting worst. i was so depressed and so unhappy that time, it really affecting me in so many ways. I have tried heaps of remedies for my migraine and neck and shoulder pains but only for a while im in pain again.My hubby and I found and watch their video online, after i read the reviews i did not think twice. i had my first treatment with Dom & he explained everything to me, he was very professional and very confident with what he is doing, i think it was on my 4rth or 5th treatment that after i did not get any migraines or head aches for 12 days straight , i was so delighted with the result. My next treatment was with David he is also very professional and also very confident .i did not get any migraine or head aches or shoulder pains for 2 weeks straight after seeing him twice, it felts so good not having those pains again i feel like im back to my old self again and im hoping for zero pain soon ,i feel so at ease and feel secured knowing that im in good hands., I highly recommend it. .its worth it.. thank u very muchread more
