4. We already have a well being program/ health provider / insurer, why do we need you?

Migraine is misunderstood and under treated by most people and organisations. Many of our patients who have come to our centre, work in different organisations/sectors, most of them having an existing work place health services/insurers, regardless didn’t get the right support/approach or treatment for their condition. Talking to them on a regular basis actually highlighted the gaps within  various well being programs, which is why we would like to help you.

We like to acknowledge organisations we have worked with, ideally adding them to our web site as ‘corporate supporters’. If any organisation is reluctant to celebrate their programme publicly we will of course respect their thinking.

8. I get headaches, I can manage, isn’t this just hype?

We are glad that you can manage your headaches, but unfortunately for many its not that easy. Migraine is a complex neurological condition with various complicated symptoms that differ from one person to the other.  There is a spectrum of severity from only marginally perceived to utterly disabling.

A typical migraine attack functionally incapacitate someone for few hours to a number of days.  We have been treating migraine sufferers for the last 39 years now, have treated over 59,000 people and we can tell you it’s not a hype. It is a debilitating condition that has a huge impact on their mental and physical health.

9. Is migraine the only headache you treat?

No. We treat all primary headaches disorders. Migraine is simply by far the most common.

10. Do you provide an emergency service?

No, unfortunately we do not provide emergency services. However we can often see patients quickly, in weeks rather than months and sometime within days (owing to cancellations).
