Migraine Injection Treatment in Leamington Spa

Migraine injection treatment is an option for people whose migraine headaches continue despite standard tablets or over the counter medicine. At Renew Skin and Health Clinic in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, treatment is delivered by Mr Amit, Consultant Neurosurgeon, GMC 6047850, with over 25 years of experience, and is designed to reduce migraine pain, frequency, and severity.

No MRI or X-ray is needed for migraine injections. You can be assessed and treated on the same day. Patients visit us from Warwick, Coventry, Birmingham, Rugby, Stratford-upon-Avon, Solihull, and across Warwickshire and the Midlands for specialist private migraine care.

If you are unsure whether your symptoms are caused by a migraine or a headache, learning which symptoms to look out for can help you understand the difference.

● Experience frequent migraines, typically more than four attacks a month
● Have tried standard migraine tablets or over the counter medication with limited or no success
● Suffer from chronic migraine, defined as 15 or more headache days a month
● Are looking for a preventive approach rather than treating each attack as it happens
● Experience migraine pain severe enough to disrupt work, sleep, or daily life

A thorough consultation with Mr Amit will confirm whether migraine injection treatment is right for your specific pattern, or whether a different approach would suit you better.

If you are looking for information about migraines, understanding what are the symptoms of a migraine can be may help you recognise the condition and know when to seek further advice.

Migraine takes several different forms, and identifying which type you experience helps determine the most suitable treatment.

Defined as 15 or more headache days a month, with migraine features on at least 8 of those days. This is the pattern most likely to benefit from preventive injection therapy.

Causes dizziness or a spinning sensation, sometimes with little or no headache at all.

Affects vision in one eye, causing temporary flickering, blind spots, or visual disturbance, sometimes with headache and sometimes without.

Involves visual symptoms such as flashing lights, zigzag lines, or blind spots, which can occur with or without a headache following.

More often seen in children, causing episodes of stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting, usually without a headache.

Linked to hormonal changes around the menstrual cycle, often more resistant to standard treatment.

Mr Amit assesses each patient individually to identify the most appropriate injection therapy for their specific migraine type and history.

If you are looking for a treatment option for frequent or persistent migraines, it may be helpful to learn how Botox for migraines works, its potential side effects and what to expect from treatment.

• Hormonal changes
• Stress and poor sleep
• Certain foods, caffeine, or alcohol
• Bright lights or strong smells
• Skipped meals or dehydration

Identifying your own triggers, alongside a migraine diary, helps build an effective, personalised treatment plan.

Depending on the option used, treatment may calm overactive nerves, reduce inflammation, relax muscles that trigger pain, or block pain signals before a migraine fully develops. Each treatment plan is tailored to your migraine type, frequency, and history.

This treatment may not be suitable if any of the following applies. Your consultant will discuss this with you at your assessment.

• Fewer than 15 headache days a month, for the preventive injection therapy option specifically
• An active infection at the injection site
• Certain bleeding disorders or blood thinning medication, until this has been discussed and a plan agreed
• A known allergy to any medication used
• You are pregnant or breastfeeding, without a specific review, see below

Certain prescription treatments for chronic migraine are approved by NICE and available on the NHS, though eligibility criteria are strict and waiting times can be considerable. Many patients are not eligible under NHS guidelines, or face lengthy delays before treatment begins.

At Renew Skin and Health Clinic, we offer private migraine injection treatment in Leamington Spa with no waiting list, prompt appointments, and a personalised care plan led by a consultant neurosurgeon. Most patients are seen within days of their initial enquiry.

All prices at Renew Skin and Health Clinic are transparent and all inclusive, with appointments available within two weeks, a free follow up review, and every procedure performed by an experienced consultant.

Included: your consultation, the procedure, and a written report.

Not included: MRI or X-ray scans, which are not required for this treatment, nerve conduction studies, and any take home medicines or private prescriptions.

Migraine treatment during pregnancy and breastfeeding requires special consideration, and some options may not be appropriate during this period. Mr Amit will carefully review your medical history at consultation and recommend the safest and most suitable approach.

Migraine injection treatment is generally well tolerated when performed by an experienced clinician. Possible effects include:

• Mild discomfort at the injection site
• Temporary headache or fatigue
• Short term muscle stiffness

All potential risks, benefits, and alternatives are explained clearly during your consultation. Mr Amit will not proceed with any treatment until you are fully informed and comfortable with the recommended approach.

Pain and headache procedures are not guaranteed to work. Most patients get meaningful relief, but a small number get little or no benefit, and how long the relief lasts varies from person to person. Mr Amit will explain what to realistically expect in your case before you decide.
