Patient Story: Maria · Migraine Relief

Maria — a marketing manager in her mid-twenties — had been living with debilitating migraines for close to ten years. Episodes affected her weekly and monthly, triggered by stress, lack of sleep, gym activity, or even a missed meal. Despite CT scans, prescription medication, and lifestyle changes, nothing had given her lasting relief. The unpredictability of the condition had begun to create anxiety around even simple daily tasks.

"When a migraine is on it can be as high as a 5–8 out of 10! I just have to drop whatever I'm doing to find relief, and with my type of work — that has been difficult."

— Maria

At PhysioCare, Maria's care began with a comprehensive assessment of her triggers and a full musculoskeletal examination. Rather than targeting symptoms alone, her individualised plan combined acupuncture with cervical spine mobilisation, tissue desensitization, corrective exercise, and Pillowise ergonomic pillow support — restoring balance across her nervous and musculoskeletal systems.

Within three weeks, the results spoke for themselves.

— Maria
