If you regularly suffer from severe headaches, or even chronic migraine, you’ll know just how limiting it can be. At UMA Clinic, we focus on modern treatments that help relieve your symptoms and reduce how often attacks occur.

what is migraine?
Migraine is more than an ordinary headache. It’s a neurological condition with specific symptoms, such as one-sided, pounding pain, auras, sensitivity to light and sound, and sometimes nausea. Migraine can be episodic or chronic: with chronic migraine, you have 15 or more headache days a month, at least 8 of which have migraine features.
causes and risk factors
- Genetic predisposition and imbalance of neurotransmitters
- Hormonal fluctuations (menstruation, menopause)
- Insufficient sleep or an irregular routine
- Stress or long-lasting tension headaches that develop into migraine
- Dietary triggers such as red wine, aged cheese or caffeine
symptoms of migraine
- Moderate to severe headache on one side of the head
- Tingling or flashes of light (aura) before the attack
- Nausea, vomiting or dizziness
- Hypersensitivity to light, sound and smell
who is migraine treatment suitable for?
Do regular migraine attacks, frequent tension headaches or daily headaches get in the way of your everyday life? Then you may be eligible for treatment. You don’t have to just put up with it.
treatment methods at uma clinic
botulinum toxin
Botox injected at specific points in the forehead, temples and neck can reduce migraine attacks. Additional injections in the jaw muscle (masseter) and shoulder muscle (trapezius) help relax the muscle tension that can trigger tension headaches.
results you can expect
- Up to 50% fewer migraine days after 2 botox treatments.
- Less medication and higher productivity.
- Better sleep and less anxiety about the next migraine attack.
before and aftercare
- Keep a headache diary to track the effect and your triggers.
- Avoid intensive exercise for 24 hours after botox; light movement is actually good.
- Stay well hydrated and spread your coffee intake throughout the day.

Yes. As the muscles relax, muscle tension naturally eases.
Absolutely. Lifestyle adjustments, CGRP inhibitors and physiotherapy can all enhance the result.
