Migraine Treatment Dubai | Franklin Chiropractic & Physiotherapy

What are Migraines?

Migraines are more than just headaches; they are a complex neurological condition that can disrupt work, social life, and daily routines. In Dubai’s fast-paced environment, migraines are all too common, often triggered by stress, poor posture, or prolonged screen time.

At Franklin Chiropractic & Physiotherapy, we help migraine sufferers find lasting relief through targeted, non-invasive care that addresses the root causes, not just the symptoms.

Common Migraine Symptoms

✔️ Intense, throbbing headache (often one-sided)
✔️ Sensitivity to light and sound
✔️ Nausea or vomiting
✔️ Visual disturbances (auras, flashing lights)
✔️ Neck stiffness or tension
✔️ Dizziness or balance issues

Migraines can last for hours or even days, with symptoms varying in intensity and frequency.

What Causes Migraines?

The exact cause of migraines isn’t fully understood, but common triggers include:

• Stress and tension, particularly from work-related strain
• Poor posture, especially tech neck and forward head posture
• Spinal misalignments, contributing to nerve irritation
• Muscle tightness in the neck and upper back
• Hormonal changes
• Dietary factors or dehydration
• Sensory overload (light, sound, smells)

Many Dubai migraine sufferers also experience “cervicogenic” headaches — migraines triggered by neck dysfunction.
