Migraines / Headaches
We help you with severe migraines or headaches.
What you should know about migraines and headaches
Headaches and migraines can have a major impact on your life. Forcing you to maybe give up certain activities, do less work or prevent you from enjoying certain moments.
It may not look important to you exactly what kind of headache you have, you just want to get rid of your complaints! But is it very important for us as therapists. Because the type of headache you have often says a lot about the cause of the headache and/or migraine.
Because not only migraine and headache are two different conditions, with different possible causes. There can also be different types of headaches within the condition itself.
All these forms of headaches may have their own cause(s) and therefore require their own specific treatment. It is now clear that both headache and migraine are a complex neurological dysfunctions. There is not one clear and direct cause. There is often a complex disturbance that has to do with your brain, your body, inflammation and blood vessels.

How we treat headaches and migraines
Persistent headaches or migraines often involve a complex or multi-faceted problem. This is not a simple, one-dimensional problem, otherwise your issues would have been resolved already.
We therefore first look for the cause of your condition and any factors involved. Is there pain since your brain has to compensate because your eyes are communicating incorrect information? Or is there a problem in the neck that radiates or perhaps disrupted communication between brain areas?
In order to uncover all the factors involved (both provoking and protective), we will fully examine you during our functional neurological examination.
When we find possible causes and factors involved, we often have the knowledge, equipment and therapies that can help you. This is a tailor-made solution, because your brain and body are unique. So is our way of treating.

Your road to recovery
One week of intensive treatment
Step 1
The Functional Neurological Examination (FNO).
You tell us about your complaints. We will ask you the necessary questions about this and do a complete Neurological Examination. We determine if you are a suitable candidate for our treatment.
Step 2
Advanced Machine Testing (quantification)
Based on Step 1, we determine what tests are necessary to quantify the underlying cause of the symptoms. To do this, we use a range of computer-controlled equipment.
Step 3
Rehabilitation week (in 5 days)
We address the problems. Through an individual program specifically tailored to your problems, we bring back function during an intensive week of treatment.
Step 4
Aftercare
After the 5-day intensive treatment week, we will give you homework assignments. These are exercises that further promote your recovery. We are happy to keep an eye on these developments with you.
Who can visit the Amsterdam
Brain Center
Amsterdam Brain Center is there for people with different types of symptoms resulting from a concussion or brain contusion. These can be a whole range of complaints. Such as: headaches, fatigue, irritability to noise and light, low energy, poor concentration, etc.
What does ABC expect from you?
Our treatment is effective but intensive. This means that our treatment lasts a full week and during that time you will be in the clinic with us daily. Through the intensive program consisting of testing, training, neuro feedback and active stimulation, we bring back the balance between the different parts of the nervous system.
It is not possible to offer this treatment in parts because the very intensity of the treatment is the key to its success. Therefore, we expect our clients to have a full week scheduled for treatment. So we ask you to invest a week to enjoy a life after that.
