The short\nanswer is, in a way, yes. At the very least, they can act as a preventative by\ntackling some of the major causes of them.<\/p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p>Firstly,\nlet\u2019s make sure we understand what a migraine is. The third most common illness\nin the world, migraines are a lot more than just bad headaches. Symptoms\ninclude forehead pain (obviously), facial pressure, a runny nose, sensitivity\nto light and sound, blurred vision, nausea and, in extreme cases, vomiting and\nfainting. They particularly afflict those with a family history of them and\nwomen are three times more likely to suffer than men.<\/p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"http:\/\/www.channspaphuket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/De-Stress-Health-Club-Spa.jpg\" alt=\"De-Stress-Health-Club-Spa\" class=\"wp-image-64\" srcset=\"https:\/\/channspaphuket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/De-Stress-Health-Club-Spa.jpg 800w, https:\/\/channspaphuket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/De-Stress-Health-Club-Spa-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/channspaphuket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/De-Stress-Health-Club-Spa-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/channspaphuket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/De-Stress-Health-Club-Spa-420x280.jpg 420w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<br><p><strong>An\nalternative to medication?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p>Growing\nnumbers of doctors are suggesting massages like those you can get from a Phuket\nspa as a complementary or alternative treatment of migraines. Unlike\npharmaceutical, there are no harmful side-effects to massage treatments. It\u2019s\nalso a good option for those who are unable to use pharmaceutical options, such\nas those who are allergic to opioids or pregnant women.<\/p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p>It\u2019s\nimportant to note that a Phuket massage is probably not going to be a\nreplacement for drugs when it comes to treating the symptoms for a migraine. If\nyou\u2019re suffering with a headache so severe that it is blurring your vision and\nmaking you ultra-sensitive to any and all sensory stimulus, that is not the\nbest time to head to the nearest spa.<\/p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Treating\nthe causes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p>While Phuket massages can\u2019t replace drugs when you\u2019re in the midst of a migraine, they can help to prevent future ones by treating the causes. Weekly massage therapy has been found to reduce stress, which is a common causes of migraines. Cortisol (the body\u2019s main stress hormone) levels are lowered, along with heart rates and anxiety. <\/p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Insomnia also often leads to migraines, and regular massages have been found to improve the quality and duration of sleep without the need for sleeping pills. The result is fewer and less severe migraines. Inadequate sleep as a result of jet lag can trigger a migraine, so a visit to a Phuket spa as soon as you arrive on holiday is likely to keep you from wasting a day of your trip in bed and in pain. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PLEASE NOTE: This article is not a viable alternative to professional medical advice.
