Headaches & Migraines

What are Headaches & Migraines?

Chronic headaches are head pain occurring on 15 or more days per month. Migraines are more intense episodes often accompanied by nausea, light sensitivity, visual disturbances, and throbbing pain. Both can be severely disabling. When they occur as part of a broader pattern of chronic illness symptoms, they often reflect nervous system sensitization rather than a purely structural problem.

How to know if Headaches & Migraines are chronic

• Occurring more than 15 days per month (chronic headache threshold)
• Present for more than 3 months
• Accompanied by light or sound sensitivity, nausea, or cognitive symptoms
• Worsening in response to stress, hormones, or sensory overload

Headaches & Migraines can be associated with the following conditions:

• • Central Sensitization Syndrome
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Long-COVID
  • Chronic Lyme Disease
  • POTS: Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

How brain training & re-origin can help

Chronic headaches and migraines in the context of broader nervous system dysfunction often respond to nervous system regulation approaches. Re-origin’s program addresses the central sensitization and chronic stress patterns that lower the headache threshold — helping members build resilience and reduce the frequency of painful episodes.
