Migraines are recurring headaches that often involve intense, throbbing pain, usually on one side of the head, and may be accompanied by nausea, light sensitivity, or aura symptoms. Unlike tension headaches, migraines are driven by neurologic, vascular, hormonal, and metabolic triggers, requiring a tailored approach to diagnosis and treatment.
At Avita MD, we focus on uncovering the underlying causes and offering both preventive and acute treatment strategies to help patients regain control of their lives.
Our program begins with a thorough evaluation. We use advanced testing to uncover the factors contributing to your migraines, including:
Prophylactic Care
Prophylactic, or preventive care, involves strategies and treatments designed to reduce the frequency and severity of migraines. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals who experience frequent or severe migraines. Our preventive care options include:
Non-Prophylactic Approaches
Non-prophylactic modalities encompass cutting-edge FDA-approved pharmaceuticals. Our team facilitates the management of insurance prior authorizations for these innovative therapies.
Our detailed approach ensures your treatment is tailored specifically to your biology, not just your symptoms.
Our migraine program integrates conventional and functional medicine strategies to provide long-term relief.
For patients with tension-type headaches or cervicogenic migraines linked to posture or musculoskeletal strain, we collaborate with specialized physical therapists. Their work focuses on:
This integrative approach can reduce migraine frequency and improve daily comfort.
Avita MD provides access to the newest CGRP (calcitonin gene-related peptide) inhibitors, an FDA-approved class of medications for both acute and preventive migraine care. Options include:
These therapies target a key pathway in migraine development, offering powerful relief for patients who have not responded to traditional treatments.
Evidence supports the use of certain supplements in migraine management. Our providers may recommend:
By combining nutraceuticals with medical care, we support both prevention and long-term neurologic resilience.
Migraines often intensify during times of hormonal fluctuation, including menstrual cycles, perimenopause, or hormone therapy. Using tools such as the DUTCH Test and blood hormone panels, we identify imbalances and create precision treatments that may include BHRT (bioidentical hormone replacement therapy), cycle-based strategies, or nutritional support to stabilize hormones and reduce migraine triggers.
Our experienced injectors provide Botox for chronic migraine management, an FDA-approved treatment shown to reduce both frequency and severity of migraines. Botox and other neurotoxin therapies may also benefit patients with:
This therapy can offer substantial improvement for patients who experience 15 or more migraine days per month.
Food triggers, gut health, and inflammation often influence migraines. Our registered dietitians design individualized programs that may include:
These strategies empower patients to play an active role in their long-term migraine management.
You may benefit from our migraine program if you:
Patients with complex neurologic conditions or cardiovascular disease will be carefully evaluated before treatment to ensure safety.
When will I feel relief?
Some therapies, like CGRP inhibitors or Botox, may take weeks to show full results, while IV infusions and nutraceuticals can improve symptoms within days.
How long do results last?
Botox and CGRP therapies typically last 2–3 months per session. Nutraceutical and lifestyle interventions provide benefits as long as they are consistently maintained.
What results can I expect?
Most patients see fewer migraine days, reduced severity, and improved quality of life over time.

Yes. Botox is FDA-approved for chronic migraine management and is safe when administered by trained providers.
This newer class of migraine medications blocks the activity of CGRP, a molecule involved in migraine attacks. They can be used for prevention and acute relief.
Deficiencies in magnesium, riboflavin, and CoQ10 are linked to higher migraine risk. Food triggers such as caffeine, alcohol, and processed foods can also play a role.
Many advanced therapies, including Botox and CGRP inhibitors, are covered with prior authorization. Our team helps you navigate the approval process.
