What Causes Migraine Headaches?
Migraines are complex neurological conditions, not simply severe headaches. While the exact causes are still being studied, they're believed to involve genetic factors and environmental triggers that affect nerve pathways in the brain. Common triggers include:
- Genetic factors and family history of migraines
- Hormonal fluctuations, especially in women
- Stress and anxiety
- Certain foods and drinks, like aged cheese or red wine
- Changes in sleep patterns or lack of sleep
- Environmental stimuli such as bright lights, loud noises, or strong smells

How long does Botox for migraines last?

What are the side effects of Botox migraine injections?
Common side effects are generally mild and temporary, including neck pain, headache, or tenderness at the injection sites. Serious side effects are rare. We'll thoroughly discuss all potential risks and benefits during your consultation.
How is Botox for migraines different from other treatments?
Botox for migraines is a preventative treatment. It works by blocking a migraine before it starts, rather than treating one that's already happening. It's specifically approved for chronic migraines and offers an alternative approach to oral medications, especially when oral medications have not worked well enough.
Can I get Botox for migraines if I live outside of Mississauga?
Absolutely. We welcome patients from across the GTA, including Brampton, Oakville, Etobicoke, Milton, and Port Credit. Our Mississauga clinic is easy to reach and we offer consultations for all chronic migraine patients regardless of where you're located.
