Migraines are more than just headaches. They can affect your vision, energy, digestion, mood, sleep, focus, and your ability to function throughout the day.
For some people, a migraine means canceling plans. For others, it means working through the throbbing pain, nausea, light sensitivity, or brain fog.
If you’re looking for migraine treatment in Morehead City, you’re probably looking for something beyond over-the-counter products. At Morehead Functional Wellness, we offer a drug-free, non-invasive solution and lifestyle guidance to help you experience fewer disruptions and more freedom from pain.
Looking Beyond Pain Relief
While we would never say you shouldn’t rely on short-term fixes when struggling with migraines, At Morehead City Functional Wellness, we also want you to consider long-term solutions.
The cause of migraines remains a mystery, but we can still help you identify certain triggers, including:
- Stress
- Hormones
- Sleep patterns
- Weather conditions
- Certain medications
- Exposure to bright light
- Certain foods (like processed or pickled foods)
During your complimentary consultation, you’ll sit down with Dr. Maureen Tumolo, our board-certified internal medicine physician. During a relaxed, un-rushed visit, you can discuss the frequency and severity of your migraines, as well as possible triggers. Dr. Tumolo can offer you nutritional and lifestyle advice to help manage your symptoms and reduce the amount of migraines you experience.
EXOMIND for Migraines
In addition to lifestyle guidance, Dr. Tumolo also offers EXOMIND, non-invasive migraine treatment in Morehead City.
EXOMIND is an advanced transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) device that strengthens neural pathways. Using electromagnetic stimulation, it supports areas of the brain involved in regulation and sensory processing. For some patients, this helps reduce migraine frequency or intensity over a course of 6 or more sessions.
Unlike medications, EXOMIND isn’t designed to simply mask symptoms once a migraine starts. Instead, it works by stimulating targeted areas of the brain to support healthier communication and regulation over time. The goal is to help your brain become less reactive to common migraine triggers, so you can feel more in control of your day.
Frequently Asked Questions About Migraine Treatment
Here are common questions we hear regarding migraine treatment in Morehead City.
Does EXOMIND hurt?
Most patients find EXOMIND comfortable and only note a slight, rhythmic pulsing sensation on their scalp.
Don’t TMS systems cause headaches?
Some older TMS systems were associated with causing discomfort, lightheadedness, or headaches in certain patients. EXOMIND is an advanced TMS system designed to offer a more comfortable treatment experience while supporting areas of the brain involved in sensory processing and regulation.
During treatment, the EXOMIND applicator hovers above or rests near the targeted area and delivers electromagnetic stimulation without surgery, medication, or downtime. Unlike older systems that were turned fully on and off during treatment, EXOMIND gradually increases energy, maintains a steady flow, and then slowly tapers back down. This smoother delivery helps make sessions more comfortable for many patients.
How long is each session?
Each EXOMIND session lasts about 30 minutes and requires no downtime, giving you the freedom to continue your day as usual.
