My daughter has been seeing Ariel for the last 6 months, her migraines have decreased significantly, from at least 15 a... month to sometimes 2 a month, when she does get a headache now the duration of the headache is not as long. I highly recommend Ariel, she is friendly and kind, and very quick at getting back to us if needed. All the staff at the migraine clinic are always friendly and willing to help. This the first time in 4 years that we have had relief from the headaches.read more

I was diagnosed with cluster headaches at the age of 60. As one who never has been prone to many headaches, the... resultant intense pain of clusters was unimaginable. GP's and pharmacies can offer no pain relief for clusters. Pure oxygen provides some comfort. My initial visit to David Appleby at BHMC Spring Hill provided some hope. After a couple of sessions, I experienced Immediate results. David's advice regarding posture and sleep habits combined with his hands on treatment worked wonders for me. I have been cluster free and pain free for some 4 months now. I would have no hesitation in recommending David and BHMC's professional staff. There is a solution for clusters...BHMC.read more

I've experienced headaches for some years following a shoulder injury. At times these headaches were quite disruptive... to life in general. I started seeking help from Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic and although it took some time to find the trigger, I'm now at 6 weeks without a single headache. I'd highly recommend talking to them if you suffer from headaches.read more

My headache problem has been lasting for many years and I suffer from it more frequently from the last 18 months. The... quality of my life before treatment was affected tremendously. I simply couldn't enjoy lots of activities when headache attacks occur.I started my headache treatment from the last few weeks and it has been very effective. It is very obvious to how I feel around my neck before and after the treatment. I haven't had any headache episode since.I highly recommend this clinic and the physician named Douglas. He is courteous, gentle, very caring and most amazingly very knowledgeable and skillful. He was able to diagnose my headache issue and provide detailed explainations about my treatment plan and future preventative guidance.I wish I had found this clinic earlier and for anyone who is suffering from headaches you should definitely give it a go.Overall it's a nice and clean clinic, easy public transport and parking. Helpful and friendly admin staff too.Thank you Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic Sunnybank Hills.read more

My healthy 7yr old son out of blue started having debilitating migraines about a year ago. Being a nurse I ensured we... ruled out anything nasty by doing MRI and seeing specialist. But we kept getting no definitive answer as to why they were reoccuring. Being so young treatment options are limited until 12yrs of age and every episode we would end up at the emergency department with then specialist follow up appointments.Something had to change. I then came across a fellow work colleague (GP) whom referred me to Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic. My son has been seeing David now at the spring hill clinic for over 2mnths, where he has worked absolute wonders. My son has had no episodes of a migraine to date yet.David also ensure he educates his clients during the appointment, follows up with exercises and resources for you to use at home as well, easy management plans and a diary to track and see patterns as to why a migraine maybe triggered.I would highly recommend these clinics to anyone suffering. The amount of knowledge and expertise by the staff is amazing.I will always be praising them for the help with my son.read more

I have suffered from chronic neck pain for over 10 years and I had come to the conclusion that I would have to suffer... with it for the rest of my life. I had tried massage, chiropractors and other physiotherapists and though they worked in the short term the pain would come back just as bad. It only took a couple of sessions with David before that chronic pain seemed to lessen markedly. After several weeks of sessions the pain was only returning occasionally and no where near the level that I had previously experienced. He had been recommended to me by the friend of my daughter who had suffered from long term sports injuries and he could not praise him highly enough.read more

I had been experiencing constant dizziness, and other visual issues as well as headaches and neck pain for months... before I found this clinic. It had become problematic at work and disrupted my social life. I was very depressed and didn't know what to do. I just wanted to sleep all the time. I had tried other physiotherapy with no relief. I started my treatment at Brisbane headache and migraine clinic in September and have been seeing Mattias the entire time. I felt heard, understood and hopeful since my first consultation with Mattias and have seen huge improvement since then. Recovery takes time but now I am at a point where I rarely get dizzy, headaches are less common and manageable and the other visual issues have decreased from constantly and daily to a few times biweekly. I am working lots of hours and starting to feel like myself again. I strongly urge anyone struggling with similar issues to give it a try. I would highly recommend Mattias for his expertise and for being so kind and easy to talk to. Although, the entire team is lovely and truly care. You can't go wrong here.read more

When I first saw Ariel I couldn't drive or walk long distances on my own, my quality of life had deteriorated due to my... vestibular migraines. My options from my neurologist was medication, of which I thought I would have a lifetime of, before I took that route I came across this clinic.Ariel changed my life, I have quality of life again I am happy again, I can do normal things again without feeling I am on a rocking boat everyday, I am not sensitive to light anymore.

Brilliant service and totally totally helpful. I first visited Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic in 2016 when I... was having a regular bout of intense migraines that would leave me bedridden. I had also become very afraid of both daylight and screens. Very anxious. I was kind of like a vampire before going here. Since treatment my migraines have pretty much vanished. Thanks to the neck exercise techniques Bertrand showed me I have so much more confidence in terms of not getting another migraine. I couldn't recommend this place enough. If I do ever get another migraine again, I'll basically be running back here as fast as I can. Highly Recommend!read more
