Chronic Migraine Injections Ottawa

Chronic migraine injections are a non-surgical medical treatment offered at our Dermapure Wellington Village clinic. They consist of small, targeted injections into specific muscle groups of the head and neck, used to support the prevention of chronic migraine in adults.

Book an Appointment

Because every patient's migraine history and medical profile are different, chronic migraine injections at our Dermapure Wellington Village clinic always begin with a personalized consultation with a physician or healthcare professional. Together, you will discuss whether the treatment is appropriate, the protocol and the possible side effects.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1

Personalized Assessment

During your consultation, our experienced professionals will evaluate your migraine patterns, triggers, and medical history to create a tailored treatment plan. This ensures that the injections are placed strategically for optimal relief.

Step 2

Proceed with Treatment

The injection process involves several small injections in targeted areas. The procedure typically lasts 15-30 minutes and involves minimal discomfort. A numbing cream may be applied to ensure your comfort throughout the process.

There is little to no downtime required after the treatment. Most patients may experience mild swelling or tenderness at the injection sites, which usually resolves quickly. You can resume your daily activities immediately after the procedure.

The effects of chronic migraine injections are usually noticeable within 1-2 weeks, with optimal relief achieved in 2-4 weeks. The benefits can last from 3 to 4 months, depending on individual factors. Regular follow-up treatments are recommended to maintain long-term relief. A personalized treatment schedule will help you continue experiencing reduced migraine frequency and severity.
