For years I thought I was just anxious. I had stomach problems, anxiety about leaving the house, nausea, dizziness,... sore eyes, blocked ears, stomach spasms, what felt like heart palpitations, sensitivity to medications, twinkle lights in my vision, loss of speech and mild headaches. In short I felt hungover without ever drinking, all the time. I’ve tried anti anxiety meds and ended up with a panic attack. I’ve tried exercise physiology, dieticians, meditation and yoga. It wasn’t until I saw an ENT that he suggested I see a balance physio. I was then diagnosed with vestibular migraines. The balance physio helped and during my time there they suggested visiting Brisbane Migraine and Headache Clinic. I’ve been seeing Dom at Spring Hill since October and for the first time in years I’m having symptom free days and am starting to string a days together. I can’t recommend the clinic highly enough. Thank you to the amazing team at the clinic!read more

I have had an amazing experience with Ariel at the clinic. I went there in horrific pain after been diagnosed with... Trigeminal Neuralgia and I was taking 12 nerve pain tablets a day. The clinic was recommended to me by a friend and I'm so glad I gave them a try because now after a couple of months I am pain free and down to one nerve tablet a day. It's hard to explain really how grateful I really am now to be spending Christmas with my family pain free after not been able to leave the house without crying in pain. I'm would give them 100 stars if I could and I've already recommended Ariel to some friends who suffer migraines. Thank you for everything Ariel your an amazing and lovely lady who really changed my life.read more

I started treatments with Dominic immediately. And I am amazed to report that I haven't had a migraine since! I wish I had done it years earlier.Dominic is pleasant, thorough, very knowledgeable and holistic in his advice, picking up on things which seem unrelated but were likely contributing to my headaches - and explains everything every step of the way. I can't recommend him highly enough.read more

I reached out to Brisbane Headaches and Migraines after years of debilitating headaches, migrains and even occular... migrains. When I arrived for the first time I was skeptical to say the least, however after a few appointments I noticed a drastic improvement, Ariel is very hospitable and has a great personality and sense of humour. Ariel asked me a few questions about what I though caused my headaches, and assessed my neck recommending I have a few appointments to see if I notice any difference.Long story short, I had weekly appointments to start, it was a bit on the expensive side but they take private health cards and eventually I only needed 3-6 monthly appointments as I noticed I wasn't getting those bad headaches anymore. I was able to work better and take less sick days. I've had a few headaches here and there, but that comes down to bad posture and lack of water. And I've not had a migrain in around 8 months.All in all, I'm extremely happy I found Brisbane Headaches and Migrains, and Ariel. I think it's worth the money to try, and would happily recommend their services to anyone who is looking for a remedy without drugs.read more

My 12 year old daughter sees Ariel Lee for her migraine treatment. She was having regular migraines, twice monthly,... sometimes more. Medication did little to alleviate the severity of them so we tried the Brisbane Headache and Migraine Centre. Since commencing treatment with Ariel she has not had a migraine for three months. Ariel is professional yet warm and friendly and I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone suffering from debilitating migraines.read more

However, since receiving treatments from Mattias at Brisbane Headache and Migraine clinic since July, I have experienced a significant improvement in my condition. I no longer have daily neck pain and I very rarely experience a headache or migraine. I am really grateful for the outcome of these treatments and I feel like I can live my life pain-free again.read more

When I first booked an appointment with BHMC I was skeptical; I was in an accident a year before and suffered chronic... migraines every other day. I had been told that medication was the only way to manage them until I found Mattias who explained what I had suspected and that the migraines could be managed by therapy on the neck. After seeing Mattias for a couple months I have found huge relief from the constant severe migraines. I still get them every now and then but no where near as often as before. They’re also less intense with lower durations. Mattias is super professional, friendly and keen to help where he can. He was always happy to talk through different aspects of my pain even when I’d speculate about why I’m feeling different things (as is chronic pain sufferers do). Thank you BHMC and thank you Mattias. I’ve been able to see the light at the end of the tunnel now.read more

I got to say that this clinic has changed my life! I have been having migraines since I was 13 years old (12 years ago)... and with the help from Ariel, both the frequency and intensity of my migraine has significantly decreased. I would recommend anyone who is concidering this clinic to think no further. Just do it! And when you do, try and do your best to accomodate the appointments with the suggested exercises, get a better pillow for neck suport and most importantly try avoiding your migraine triggers (for me it's chocolate, spicy food, skipping a meal). If you do this you can expect great results towards your healing. It's so worth it!read more

Absolutely 110% highly recommend Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic!!! I have been to many different specialists and... trying all sort of different medication and was taking aspirin with panadal pretty much every day. I have been experiencing horrible headaches and all these sharp bee sting pains in and around the eyes with electric shocks around the face. I have also experienced not so pleasant neurologists who were quite rude and didn't seem to care. Doing my research, I came across these guys and the lovely Helen was such a delight over the phone and felt very welcomed. She is beautiful inside and out. I had fantastic experience with Mattias and really took the time and explained everything. Not only is he very knowledgeable and professional, but was very kind. I no longer rely on medication and can wear my favourite scents as they used to trigger pain within seconds.I will miss them as I am moving interstate but will come see them if I'm up this way.Do yourself a favour and checks these guys out :)read more

History - I've always gotten more headache than the average person. I was suffering for more than 10 yrs. Most of the... time above my left eyes and left brain. In average, In a week i used to take medicine at least 3-4 days. The pain never went away, unless i was asleep. So, i used to sleep a lot with the help of medicine.That was my last 10 yrs of life.Now - I am living in miracles. I started my treatment with Bertrand just 2 months ago. In my first month experience i still had some headache on and off but it was manageable. I never feel like i was walking with same headache which i had before. So my treatment was working. Now its been a month i am living without headache. So, finally with big relief i can say my treatment is working. I cannot express all my happiness in a word. I am very lucky i find the right place and right person for treatment. Thanks to 'Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic'.read more

I have had migraines for the last 23 years, some bad enough to lose my sight temporarily. I tried many types of... massages, physio's and chiropractors but only got temporary relief. After seeing Bertrand for 3 months and doing upper neck migraine treatment I haven't had a migraine since, even 6 months after finishing treatment. Bertrand is a friendly guy who genuinely cares about me as a patient and is happy to explain anything about treatment I'm curious about, and knows his speciality very well. His methods are researched and verifiable, and I recommend anyone who suffers from migraines go see him.read more

I started seeing Bertrand in September after 2 years of neck pain and bad headaches. I felt like I had tried everything... and nothing was successful. I finally had enough and found out about Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic. I booked an appointment and I have no regrets. Bertrand was able to diagnose the main problem and then my treatment began. I was having bad headaches and constant neck pain DAILY and no amount of pain relief or stretching would make it better. Now, I only get headaches once or twice a week. They are not as bad and can also be quite easily reduced with stretching and pain relief. I was taking pain relief 2-3 times a day EVERYDAY, now I only take it a few times a week and only IF I need it. This has significantly improved my quality of life and I can’t thank Bertrand enough for his expertise and his genuine desire to help. Everyone at the Spring Hill Clinic have always been professional and friendly.read more

My father was hit by a car whilst riding a motorbike in the 80's. He broke his neck and had 2 discs (3&4) fused. He... was told that he would probably suffer headaches for the rest of his life, he accepted this and has lived with them ever since. He was referred to this clinic in the hopes of helping him with recent debilitating episodes of vertigo which were not caused by crystals in his ear. Dad felt his vertigo, the stiffness in his neck, his continuous headaches which were increasing in severity and the change to the tone of his voice were all to do with his neck injury. He believed calcification had taken place where the bones were fused, causing a pinching of his nerve. He believed he required further surgery. After seeing many specialists, at a considerable cost and being told his beliefs were incorrect and gaining no further insight into why this was happening he was deeply depressed and had come to the end of his rope. Therefore when pushed by family to attend yet another consultation and told by the specialist that the treatment could alleviate his headaches and vertigo without surgery, he was dubious to say the least. He was also very disappointed that there was still no hope for the return of the strength and tone in his voice. He had put up with his headaches for so long and since he was now in his 80's he felt he did not have long to go and it was pointless spending more money on a treatment he was not convinced about. I crossed my fingers and did my best to convince him and I am so glad he consented to give it a try. He has found after only 6 treatments that the stiffness and tightness to his neck and the headaches that he was experiencing have reduced significantly. The cricket sound in his ear is no more and there has been no further episodes of vertigo. The most unexpected part is that he has noticed a change in the tones of his voice since the reduction of the stiffness of his neck and throat. I would like to show my greatest appreciation to Bertrand for his patience, care, honesty and his professionalism. He went above and beyond for us and I can not thank him enough. My Dad is now recommending treatment to his neighbour who has been suffering with debilitating cluster headaches. As a man of few words this speaks volumes. I would also like to acknowledge the professional office staff with a shout out to Helen who is always helpful and welcoming. Thank you all so very much.read more

Before I started treatment with Bertrand I had headaches/migraines five days in the week. Doctors just kept giving me... painkillers that weren’t really working. Since starting treatment, my migraines only occur once a month. Without the pain I can now do the physical activities that I thought were over for good. It works.read more

After suffering from daily headaches and weekly migraines for around 7 years, I visited Mattias from the BHMC at... SunnyBank Hills.I was met with an understanding and compassion I had not yet experienced while searching for relief from this debilitating condition.Mattias explained the concept of cervicogenic headache and how it interacts with migraine and vertigo (which I was also suffering from).I had never had any neck pain and never thought my neck could be to blame.After the first session I was a believer. Mattias was able to simulate sensitivity I was experiencing by performing holds on my upper three vertebrae (very precisely and gently) and after a few holds the pain would settle.I achieved an 80% improvement within 6 weeks of working with Mattias and I recommend the Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic to anyone who experiences migraines or headaches, and I can personally vouch for Mattias, whose work has brought me immeasurable relief from daily suffering.The BHMC set you up for long term success - I started with twice per week, but now I visit once every couple of months just to keep things in check.Mattias also works at the Brisbane Clinic, but I always see him at Sunnybank which is a great location to get to from the South Side of Brisbane.read more

I have suffered from headaches for over 50 years and as I got older my headaches increased in severity until I got to... the point where they were almost daily and I was worried how I was going to keep working. I had tried a wide range of treatments with no long term relief. However after following a treatment plan with Mattius from this haedache clinic I now only get an occasional haedache which has been life changing. I had got to the point where I thought there was nothing anyone could do to help me until I went to this clinic. I can’t recommend this clinic and Mattius enoughread more

After being involved in a horrific traffic accident a few years ago, I struggled to get find the treatment I needed for... my injuries and in particular the migraines and dizziness that I had never experienced before. I went to multiple physiotherapists who failed to explain or properly treat my condition and I continued to suffer daily with headaches and regular migraines as well as back and neck pain before being referred to Brisbane Migraine and Headache clinic. Since attending regular appointments with Mattias at Brisbane Headache and Migraine clinic, I have not had one Migraine and my daily headaches that were extremely debilitating have eased considerably. Matthias was able to explain in detail what had happened to me and how with regular treatments he could help me. The dizziness has gone completely and I am experiencing the best pain relief for the first time since my accident. I would recommend Brisbane Migraine and Headache clinic to anyone who is suffering and frustrated at the lack of help or understanding that is available. Matthias has helped me to experience relief from the pain that I given up hope of finding.read more

My desperation led me to this wonderful clinic and a man named Bertrand. I have had bad headaches, migraines, dull... head, vertigo etc for many years now and last year, I had had enough of these issues controlling my day to day life. The GP's and Specialists could not help me. After a thorough diagnosis and a series of appointments, my life is back to normal. I cannot thank Bertrand and his staff enough for their understanding and respect that is always shown on every visit.read more
