Migraine Help In Your Back Yard
Ventura County residents suffering from the severe form of headache known as migraine may not realize there is an amazing resource here in Ojai called The Keeler Center For The Study of Migraine. After just a few months of working with the center - which offers a wide range of treatment options including massage, meditation, yoga, biofeedback, stress management, naturopathic, homeopathic and conventional medicines - I have gone from having several of these debilitating headaches per week to last month only experiencing two.
They accept most major health insurance plans and provide some of the most comprehensive and cutting-edge research and treatment I have experienced in my own short lifetime of looking for help since I first started having migraines at the age of five. The science has come a long way, into a kind of results-based open-mindedness that embraces a wide range of so-called alternative therapies and backs them up with the rigors of Western science. In the end, it's about doing whatever works to help patients manage their condition and win back greater well-being. If you have migraines or know someone who does, The Keeler Center can probably help.

Robert, are having migraines from such a young age common? Is there a cause? Is it hereditary? Great to hear you were helped here in Ojai.

Hey Tyler - nobody knows for sure what causes them, but there is often a pattern that seems to indicate some kind of predisposition for them that gets activated by a head trauma. In my case, I got a concussion in my kindergarten soccer league butting heads with another kid. He walked away from it. I got a trip to the hospital. Since then I've seen neurologists and specialists and alternative medicine practitioners - you name it. Keeler Center is hands-down the most comprehensive. As a kid the best they had was Tylenol with Codeine, which at my age and weight basically just knocked me out for the night. Now, thanks to a combination of neurofeedback, homeopathic and nutritional support, stress management, normalized caffeine intake and other factors I'm a much happier camper.

I have been suffering from debilitating migraines several times a week for over 7 years now. Even more recently I have been getting headaches every single day. My doctor has tried everything to control them but nothing has worked. I began looking for a different answer and that's when my mom came across Migravent. I have been taking it for almost three months and have only had one migraine. I had almost given up hope and started to accept that migraines would just have to be a way of life until I found Migravent. Thank you for giving me my life back, I no longer wake up in fear of what pain I will be in that day. It has completely changed my life and I couldn't be more thankful!
