Our Migraine Treatment Options
Your Treatment Options
IV therapy provides your body with the nutrients and hydration it needs to live well. The nutrients not only improve your physical health but also provide your brain with the energy it needs to prevent and reduce migraines. This abortive therapy can be giving during a migraine to help stop symptoms.
Low vitamins within the body can be a cause for migraines. Vitamin injections deliver the vitamins and minerals you need directly into your body. By bypassing the digestive tract, your body is able to 100% absorb the nutrients and none of the effectiveness is lost. These vitamin injections help to provide and maintain proper brain health.
Ozone and Ultraviolet therapy works by cleansing your blood and increasing the biological activity of your blood cells. This causes your blood cells to remove toxins and deliver more oxygen to your brain, improving activity and preventing migraines.

All these triggers can increase nerve inflammation in the dura, or the membrane between the brain and the skull.
During a migraine, your brain experiences abnormal electrical activity that alters blood flow in the brain and surrounding tissue. While the exact process remains unclear, many medical experts theorize that migraines begin in the brain and then move to the nerve pathways that alter the chemicals in your brain.
Our migraine specialists in Lynchburg are experts in understanding brain activity. They’ll spend time with you discussing your migraines, symptoms, and what you’ve noticed triggers your migraines. Based on that information, they’ll create a plan that will help alleviate the symptoms of your migraines and make them less prevalent.
