Migraine Genes and Upper Neck

Hi Migraine Partners!

Is Migraine due to the genetic make up?

People often ask me this question.

I say, ‘Yes’ but there are people who carry migraine but don’t get it also’

In fact, some 40% who carry the migraine genes do not get the migraine and we can’t really change that anyway’

But we can focus on things that are MODIFIABLE.

Since I am a physio and I know upper neck and migraine brain (brainstem) share the same pain pathway, we can make huge change for the better by doing things that help improve the upper neck!’

Here’s the introduction to the idea of getting help from someone who treats neck specific to improve migraine if you haven’t already and wean off medications and injections over time.

Please let me know what you think!

What’s been your migraine journey?

Happy rehab!

Cheers,
