Migraine Treatment Success Stories

The Headache Clinic Customer Review, Image of Hayley Debbes

Hayley Debbes - Chronic Migraine Treatment

"For 13 years, I battled chronic headaches and migraines, often dismissed by other doctors. My pain forced me to leave my studies and resign from prestigious jobs. Then, I found you. Your expertise, brilliant mind, and compassion impressed me deeply. The Shevel Procedure Operation you performed was life-changing. Now, I'm pain-free, ready to finish my degree, and eager to return to work. Inspired by you, I am shifting my studies to pursue medicine. Thank you for giving me a new lease on life. I am eternally grateful and will continue to support and share your incredible work."

Deidre Sharp Van Eck - Transformative Migraine Treatment

"Highly recommend Dr. Shevel and The Headache Clinic. I usually suffer from debilitating migraines, 1-3 days a week. After treatment on my right side about a month ago, I've had no pain. Just did the left side today and expect similar results. Our family can now go on our much loved hiking trips without having to cancel due to mommy's constant pain. I don't have to cancel plans due to my migraines anymore. Dr Shevel has really changed my life for the better"

"I am finally pain free for the 1st time in 36 years! I had severe migraines from age 10, and on my first visit to The Headache Clinic they found the source and were able to do my procedure the same day. I walked out of there a normal person and was amazed with how fast I experienced the results"

Laura Page Franceys - PMA Tension Relief

"I came to the headache clinic over 10 years ago after having a headache for 3 months consistently.  I had seen every type of doctor you can imagine and was on 5 different types of pain medication three times a day with no relief. After being recommended to the headache clinic we came up to SA where the amazing staff where so kind and helpful for a 12 year old child who was quite literally at wits end believing that this was just another person who couldn't help, by the end of my first appointment I had my PMA device fitted and it saved me.  Within a few days my headache was gone and it stayed gone"

Nicolas SW Adelson - Cluster Headache Treatment

"I had cluster headaches and could not get treatment in my home land. A friend of my Dad, who also happens to be a Doctor, strongly recommended The Headache Clinic. After travelling to South Africa from Mauritius in February of 2020, just before the pandemic, I underwent the procedure and have been pain free for nearly two years. Thank you Dr Shevel."

Researchers at The Headache Clinic have found an interesting correlation between headaches and tinnitus. 

Both tinnitus and headaches are exceedingly common, and each affects about 2OVo of the population. This means that in South Africa alone, there may be as many as 8 million headache sufferers and possibly the same number of people with tinnitus! More people visit their doctor for headaches than for any other ailment, and tinnitus is the most common complaint seen by ENT surgeons.

There may be a casual relationship between migraine and ischaemic stroke

Many headache sufferers self-medicate and do not seek medical attention; notwithstanding, headache remains the most common complaint seen by neurologists. Migraine although less prevalent than tension type headache is the most common type of primary headache seen in the tertiary care setting, possible because the intensity of the pain is more severe, and because the associated symptoms such as aura, nausea and vomiting, photophobia and phonophobia are more common among migraineurs.
