Treat only the misaligned pelvic girdle and everything else has the potential to correct itself. Treat everything but the misaligned pelvic girdle and the problems will, inevitably, return.
Until the pelvis is treated, the body’s innate postural balancing influences will continue compensating for the asymmetry and perpetuating the adaptive muscle tension and Migraine pain patterns.
The Victoria Headache Clinic treatment approach is quite simple:
- Confirm the presence of the pattern.
- Realign the pelvic girdle. Treat the pattern of adaptive changes.
- Teach the patient how to correct and maintain the pelvic alignment.
What can you expect from treatment:
Your initial appointment at the Victoria Headache Clinic is designed to familiarize you with this approach and will include assessment, to determine whether or not and to what extent this pattern is present, and treatment, to evaluate your body’s ability to respond. The actual treatment component will be necessarily brief during this first appointment, but will lay the foundation for future work. You will be shown how to correct your own pelvic misalignment. Therapist-patient teamwork begins here.
Subsequent appointments build on the first. We fully expect the pelvis to be holding in alignment from the first treatment and to continue to do so as we work together to retrain both it and the areas of adaptive compensation. It is not uncommon for patients to report significant improvements by the second or third appointments. The imbalanced musculoskeletal areas will be moving toward symmetry, with reduced tension, pain and pain referrals. Patients routinely report increasingly reduced frequency, intensity and duration of their migraine and headache pain and discomfort, reduced dependancy on medication to the point of discontinuation, improved sleep patterns, and increased energy levels. Their usual headache triggers begin to have less effect and can potentially be reduced to non-issues.
The average number of treatments to completion is currently around five to eight, over a three to four week period. In the context of this protocol, completion is defined as resolution of your presenting complaints to pain-free status, leaving you with the knowledge and skills required to maintain this status on your own. The emphasis throughout the short course of treatments is on a "team" approach, actively involving you in your own recovery process. Quite simply, it gives you control over your pain.
