Migraine & Headache Treatment in Skokie
Lasting relief from migraines and chronic headaches is possible—with the right care.
Why Choose Migraine & Headache Treatment?
For many people, migraines and chronic headaches are more than occasional discomfort—they’re life-disrupting conditions that affect work, relationships, sleep, and overall quality of life. At StrIVeMD Wellness in Skokie, we understand how deeply this kind of pain can interfere with your day-to-day functioning.
We offer personalized, science-backed treatment options, including ketamine therapy, to help you finally find the relief you deserve. Unlike conventional medications that simply mask symptoms, our approach targets the underlying neurological imbalances that contribute to chronic pain—helping to reset the body’s response to triggers and reduce the intensity, duration, and frequency of headache episodes.
Conditions Treated with Migraine & Headache Therapy
Chronic Migraines
Defined as having 15 or more headache days per month, chronic migraines can feel never-ending. Our treatments aim to minimize frequency and severity, restoring function and improving daily comfort.
Tension Headaches
Often described as a tight band around the head, tension headaches are frequently stress-related and can become chronic. We focus on reducing underlying nervous system hyperactivity and muscle tension.
Cluster Headaches
These intensely painful headaches tend to occur in cycles and can feel debilitating. We use progressive therapies to help disrupt the cycle and decrease sensitivity to triggers.
Post-Traumatic or Rebound Headaches
Whether your headaches stem from an injury or overuse of medications, our comprehensive approach addresses root causes like inflammation, nerve sensitivity, and chemical imbalance.

FAQs About Migraine & Headache Treatment
How does ketamine help with migraines and chronic headaches?
%402x%20(2).svg){kind=icon}
Ketamine works by blocking NMDA receptors involved in pain transmission and central sensitization. This can help reset dysfunctional pain pathways, reduce inflammation, and improve the brain's tolerance to pain, offering relief when other treatments have failed.
Is ketamine therapy safe for headache conditions?
Yes. Ketamine is administered under strict medical supervision at our Skokie location. The dosing is carefully controlled to ensure safety, and most patients tolerate treatment very well. It’s especially beneficial for those with refractory migraines or headaches that haven’t responded to standard care.
How soon will I notice relief after starting treatment?
Some patients feel a difference within 24–72 hours after their first infusion, while others notice gradual improvement over the course of several sessions. The number and frequency of treatments will depend on your specific condition and response to therapy.
