Chronic headaches and migraines can be debilitating. Without understanding the cause of your headaches or the triggers of your migraines, it can feel impossible to predict their frequency, forcing you to miss out on big life events.
At Heal n Cure, Dr. Meena and our expert medical practitioners work to understand the source of your condition and how we can stop your headaches before they begin.
Continue reading about how our headache doctor in Glenview uses functional medicine to craft a treatment plan that fits your needs, or schedule a consultation to find relief.
Traditional vs. Functional Medicine
Often, traditional physicians are limited to conventional treatments, recommending surface-level remedies like NSAIDs that treat your headaches after they arise.
Our Heal n Cure team uses a holistic approach to identify and resolve the root cause of your pain.
That means conducting comprehensive science-based lab work, like neurotransmitter testing, to determine any systemic imbalances or disruptions contributing to your chronic pain. These factors might include improper nutrition, hormonal imbalance, stress, and more. We also learn more about your day-to-day habits and medical history to fully assess the factors influencing your nervous system.
This knowledge empowers our headache doctor in Glenview to develop a personalized treatment plan that fits you and your needs.
Your Treatment Options With Heal n Cure
Once we receive your test results and learn more about your medical history and lifestyle, our functional medicine physician recommends a custom course of treatment that addresses the identified source of your condition.
Dr. Meena could recommend balancing your autonomic nervous system with:
- Nutrition Coaching. Our nutritionist creates a personalized plan for balanced nutrition that fits your metabolism and biochemistry while reducing inflammatory foods that can contribute to headaches.
- Vital Dose Detoxifying Treatments. Dr. Meena creates a custom Vital Dose supplement with medicinal herbs, vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids to regulate your hormones and metabolic rate while cleansing your body of harmful toxins.
- Medical Weight Loss. Our team can create a custom medical weight loss plan including nutrition guidance, hormone balancing, lifestyle recommendations, and supplements to address metabolic or gut issues.
- Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT). For patients with imbalanced sex, adrenal, thyroid, or pituitary hormones, Dr. Meena tailors your unique hormone compounds and dosage to restore balance and support optimal systemic function.
- Master Reset Therapy. This therapy uses electrical stimulation to help bring sympathetic overdrive down and reduce your chronic pain.
We do not apply the “set it and forget it” mentality common to traditional medicine. Our team continues to monitor your progress once your headache treatment program is underway, tailoring your plan as needed to better support your well-being.
