Understanding Migraines & Chronic Headaches

Migraines and persistent headaches affect millions, yet most people continue living with the pain, assuming it is “normal.” For many patients, headaches are more than temporary pressure — they impact sleep, productivity, mood, and daily functioning. Migraines especially can be debilitating, accompanied by nausea, visual aura, sensitivity to light, and overwhelming exhaustion. Many sufferers experience headaches triggered by hormonal imbalances, stress, poor gut health, nutrient deficiencies, or disrupted sleep cycles. Some patients notice migraines increasing around periods, stress, loud environments, dehydration, or food sensitivities. Painkillers may provide short-term relief, but they do not solve the root cause behind chronic neurological pain. At Drace, we take migraines seriously because they are often linked to inflammation, nervous system dysfunction, and metabolic imbalance. Using functional medicine, we investigate the underlying patterns that conventional treatment sometimes overlooks. Our goal is not just pain relief — but long-term migraine prevention and nervous system balance. With the right functional approach, most patients experience fewer episodes, shorter duration, and improved day-to-day well-being.
