Migraine Centers and the Omega Procedure Featured on NBC News in Nashville
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) August 28, 2013 -- The Migraine Treatment Centers of America and the Omega procedure are hits in Nashville!
WSMV, the NBC affiliate in Nashville, Tennessee featured a story on the Omega procedure, and how it helped a woman with chronic migraines.
Reporter Ian Reitz told the story of Michelle Bufford, a Tennessee woman who had suffered from migraines for years. Now thanks to Dr. Matt Rupert and Migraine Centers, she’s no longer feeling the excruciating headaches she felt a year ago.
When she was 20 years old, she was involved in a nasty car accident where her head shattered her car’s windshield. From that day on, she suffered severe headaches, including some that lasted weeks.
“It feels like your brain is too big for your skull and there’s just so much pressure that it just feels like there needs to be a release,” Bufford said. Now, several months after her surgery, she’s back to living a normal life.
She enjoys being in the sun and has plans to vacation at the beach, something she would have never done prior to having the Omega procedure.
Here’s how it works: Tiny wires the size of fishing line send electrical signals to the nerves that cause headache pain. So, when someone feels a headache coming on, they can send that signal to help stop the pain.
It essentially tricks the brain into not feeling pain. Patients usually describe the feeling as a soothing, tingling feeling.
The Omega procedure has a published success rate of 90%. Needless to say, it certainly worked for Michelle Bufford.
