These migraines can significantly impact your daily life by causing disruptions in your work and social activities.

Symptoms of chronic migraines often extend beyond headaches and can include:

• Intense throbbing or pulsating pain, typically on one side of your head

What could be causing my chronic migraines?

The causes of chronic migraines aren’t fully understood, but genetic factors, environmental triggers, hormonal fluctuations, and neurological imbalances all play a role. 

Triggers can vary widely among individuals, including stress, lack of sleep, certain foods, hormonal changes in women, and weather changes.

How are chronic migraines treated?

At Dreamscape Ketamine and Wellness, intravenous (IV) ketamine infusions, IV vitamin drips, and intramuscular injections are among the treatments used for chronic migraines.
