I recently read an article on how the medical community studied the effects of electrical stimulation on the occipital nerve to relieve migraines. They sound like this is a completely new discovery. Maybe it is for them. They are studying the use of surgically implanted small electric pulse delivery devices near the occipital nerve to help relieve migraine in patients who have tried other types of treatment but have not been relieved. They found that when the occipital nerve is interrupted by an electric pulse, it can help relieve migraine pain. This sounds very good, but I want to know why they did not use invasive surgery and did not mention the effect of massage or electro-acupuncture in the same part of the body?
Massage therapists and acupuncturists have for many years been convinced that work in the occipital area can help with migraine and headache. Since I learned at a massage school, I have been doing this for people. About 80% of the time, my clients reported migraine relief by using massage or electro-acupuncture therapy in the occipital area. It is much less aggressive and I think it is much safer than implanting electrical stimulation devices near the nerves. I also want to know why they don't include information about using electro-acupuncture. There is a device in my shop for public and professional use that can provide electrical stimulation to trigger the trigger point. It is called a super pen and it can be used almost anywhere in the body, not just migraine relief. Is this device very similar to the device they want to implant? Isn't this safer and more portable because it can be carried in your pocket or wallet and used when needed? It also provides pulses without needles, or any type of penetration delivered along the electrical pulse to the area of interest. These pens usually have a trigger point locator built into the device. Our super pen glows green when it exceeds the trigger point, telling you where to deliver the maximal impulse. It is adjustable and almost painless. Some people do not feel it at all, while others feel a sense of pin sens.
Many of you already know that I share the office with Dr. Gary Sherman. Dr. Sherman and I have a video about how to use trigger point therapy to treat migraine and headache. Although he is a chiropractor, he also teaches therapists and chiropractors to use trigger point therapy. We all use these technologies in our office and we have achieved great success. It goes beyond just working in the occipital area and shows the entire head, neck and shoulder area that may be a part of migraine pain. I strongly recommend that before using these techniques, try something invasive, such as implanting an electrical impulse device near the occipital nerve.
I appreciate the medical community's respect for them. I just hope that they can at least say the treatments we provide and refer to us more frequently than they do. This will bring more credibility to more healthy communities. I know that when I had a migraine patient, my treatment did not seem to help them as expected, but I referred them to a doctor. Many of them have tried many different medical drugs, treatment methods and procedures before deciding to try other health methods and are related to returning to the medical community for help. This new procedure using surgical implants should be available soon. From what I read, it will be recommended to patients who have not experienced any other type of treatment. For these people, it has proved to be very effective.
