Causes of #migraine headaches vary for each individual. Finding a lasting solution goes beyond the prescription pad and requires a more in-depth evaluation of one's overall health.
A #functionalmedicine approach to treatment looks for triggers, predisposing factors, or imbalances that could be contributing to the frequency and severity of your migraines. In this video, Dr. Lisa Lilienfield explains the treatment protocol for migraines at The Kaplan Center.

About Dr. Lisa Lilienfield:
kaplanclinic.com/provider/lisa-lilienfield
Lisa Lilienfield, MD, is board-certified in family medicine and is a member of the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture. Dr. Lilienfield also serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor at Georgetown University School of Medicine’s Department of Community and Family Medicine.
In Dr. Lisa’s words, “My goal is to help my patients get well by finding a balance in life — not just physically, but in mind, body and spirit. I look at each patient’s medical history, family history, medications, sleep problems, adrenal and other endocrine problems. We do a thorough workup and develop a treatment plan. Sometimes relatively simple changes can radically improve a patient’s health!”
Dr. Lilienfield’s approach to care comes from a Functional Medicine (FM) perspective, treating the “whole person,” not just her patient’s symptoms. Each new patient visit starts with a look back in time to find stressors or traumas that may be contributing to his or her health condition.
After a thorough physical examination, targeted blood work and other specialized tests to find hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, or other fundamental dysfunctions within the body will be ordered. Dr. Lilienfield then creates a unique treatment plan that aims to address those imbalances and lower inflammation so the body can begin healing.
Dr. Lilienfield was recognized by Fifty Plus Magazine as an “Exceptional Physician” for her holistic approach to medicine and has been included in Washingtonian Magazine’s listing as one of the “Best Doctors in the Washington, D.C. Area.”
