When I first saw Ariel I couldn't drive or walk long distances on my own, my quality of life had deteriorated due to my... vestibular migraines. My options from my neurologist was medication, of which I thought I would have a lifetime of, before I took that route I came across this clinic.Ariel changed my life, I have quality of life again I am happy again, I can do normal things again without feeling I am on a rocking boat everyday, I am not sensitive to light anymore. I think of Ariel as a member of my family and my life wouldn't be the same without her treatment.read more

Brilliant service and totally totally helpful. I first visited Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic in 2016 when I... was having a regular bout of intense migraines that would leave me bedridden. I had also become very afraid of both daylight and screens. Very anxious. I was kind of like a vampire before going here. Since treatment my migraines have pretty much vanished. Thanks to the neck exercise techniques Bertrand showed me I have so much more confidence in terms of not getting another migraine. I couldn't recommend this place enough. If I do ever get another migraine again, I'll basically be running back here as fast as I can. Highly Recommend!read more

I had migraines with various symptoms such as headaches, vision distortion and brain fog for close to 6 months. I tried... two other physios and migraine specialists with little real progress. After a month of treatment and exercise here with David; the symptoms started to reduce. I’m going on three months now, functioning well, and rarely get any symptoms at all. David’s expertise and treatment have been excellent.read more

Since visiting the Brisbane Headache & Migraine Clinic, I've been experiencing severe migraines since my teens, for... over 30 years.

Amazing results! After experiencing terrible headaches for 3-4 weeks, i booked in with Ariel for a consultation. From... there i saw her 3 times per week and after i short period of time i noticed an incredible reduction in pain levels from my headaches and also a reduction in frequency. Now i feel headache free and only see Ariel once per fortnight just as a preventative measure to stop the headaches from coming back. Highly recommend Ariel if you are experiencing any abnormal headaches than you are used to!read more

My daughter Abbey experiences chronic migraines, typically more than 15 per month. We travel from Tasmania for... treatment with Ariel in 2-3 week blocks for 8 sessions, then try and control the tension and tightness in Abbey’s neck through physiotherapy here, before returning to Ariel 3-4 months later. The treatment by Ariel decreases the frequency and severity of the migraines. Abbey has tried several other methods but in her words, ‘this is the only thing that works’. Ariel’s treatment has been a life changer for Abbey and we highly rate the approach, compassion and professionalism - but of course, the results! We are avid believers in this technique. Thank you Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic!-Dr Cherie Hawkins (PhD)read more

My treatment with Ariel has been truely life changing. Prior to seeing her, I suffered from daily vestibular migraines... & tension headaches that were ongoing for years - affecting my basic day-to-day activities. My symptoms significantly decreased within a couple of months of being treated by Ariel, and after continued treatments are almost extinct. After going to various different doctors/specialists and trying many treatments & medications, this is the only one that has been significantly & consistently effective. My treatment at Brisbane Headache & Migraine has been easy & non-invasive. Ariel is always a pleasure to deal with, her & the other staff at the clinic are always positive, understanding & supportive.read more

I've suffered from mutliple migraines each month for the past 10 years.In that time, I have used chiropractor's,... physios, acupuncture and massage therapists but these therapies failed to provide any long term relief.After my first appointment with David at the Brisbane Head & Migraine Clinic, he diagnosed what was causing my migraines, began treatment and provided preventative at home exercises which allowed me to have my first experience of being pain free with more than a week between migraine episodes.Since that first appointment, the migraines episodes have been less regular and have been able to come off strong pain killers.I cannot recommend David and the clinic enough to people who experience any type of headache - they have changed my life!read more
