If you’ve been living with chronic migraines, you already know they’re not “just headaches.” They steal your time, your clarity, and your ability to fully engage in life. You’ve likely tried countless medications, only to find the relief temporary—or the side effects overwhelming. If you’re searching for a gentle, natural solution that doesn’t revolve around pills, you’re in the right place.

At Brain Health D.C., we understand how frustrating and isolating it can be to feel like your body is working against you. The unpredictability of migraines can leave you exhausted, anxious, and discouraged—especially when conventional treatments don’t offer long-term answers.

Dr. Nisreen Tayebjee, D.C., DACNB, founded Brain Health D.C. to offer something different: a root-cause, drug-free approach to migraine relief, grounded in functional neurology, integrative medicine, and deep compassion. As someone who has navigated her own healing journey through chronic illness and pain, Dr. Nisreen knows how important it is to feel seen, heard, and supported.

We don’t believe in masking symptoms with medications. Instead, we help patients of all ages understand what’s really driving their migraines, and we partner with you to create a customized plan for lasting relief.

Common Root Causes of Migraines We Address

Migraines don’t appear out of nowhere—they are the body’s way of signaling imbalance. At Brain Health D.C., we go far beyond symptom management to identify and address the true drivers behind your headaches. By uncovering these root causes, we help you move from managing pain to creating lasting, drug-free relief.

Here are some of the most common imbalances we see in patients struggling with chronic migraines:

Nervous System Dysregulation & Sensory Overload

The brain and nervous system are central to how we process light, sound, motion, and stress. When your brain is overstimulated or under-resilient, it can overreact to everyday stimuli, triggering migraines. Through functional neurology and neurofeedback, we help rewire these patterns.

Hormonal Imbalances & Adrenal Fatigue

Fluctuations in estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and insulin can all play a role in migraines—especially in women. We evaluate your endocrine system and stress response to bring your hormones into harmony without the need for synthetic medications.

Gut-Brain Axis Dysfunction

Your digestive system plays a major role in neurological health. Inflammation, leaky gut, and food sensitivities can cause immune responses that contribute to migraines. We use functional nutrition and lab testing to restore gut integrity and reduce brain inflammation.

Environmental Triggers: Mold, Chemicals, Toxins

Exposure to hidden toxins like mold, heavy metals, pesticides, and synthetic fragrances can overwhelm the brain and body. We offer gentle detoxification protocols to clear your system and restore clarity.

Structural Imbalances: Cranial Misalignments, Posture, TMJ

Even small misalignments in the neck, jaw, or cranium can create pressure and nerve irritation that trigger migraines. Using advanced chiropractic and cranial techniques, we address these structural issues with precision and care.

Nutrient Deficiencies & Blood Sugar Instability

Your brain depends on nutrients like magnesium, B vitamins, and healthy fats to function properly. Low blood sugar or insulin resistance can also lead to neurological stress. Through personalized testing and nutrition plans, we help fuel your brain the way it needs to be.

Emotional Trauma & Chronic Stress

Unresolved trauma, emotional overwhelm, and chronic stress can all keep the nervous system in a state of fight or flight, a common underlying factor in migraines. We offer nervous system regulation tools and trauma-informed care to help you reclaim peace from within.

Our Natural, Integrative Approach to Migraine Relief

At Brain Health D.C., we don’t treat migraines with a “one-size-fits-all” solution. Instead, we use a comprehensive, integrative model that honors the complexity of each patient’s nervous system, lifestyle, and history. By combining cutting-edge neurological therapies with functional medicine and compassionate care, we support your brain’s ability to heal—from the inside out.

Functional Neurology

Migraines often begin in the brainstem and cortex, where sensory signals are processed and regulated. When these areas become overstimulated—due to injury, stress, or imbalance—the nervous system can become hypersensitive to light, sound, smell, and even movement.

Through Functional Neurology, Dr. Nisreen uses specialized assessments and exercises to:

• Calm overactive brain regions
• Rebuild sensory tolerance
• Improve the brain’s communication with the body
• Address imbalances in eye movements, posture, and balance that may contribute to migraine triggers

Neurofeedback & BrainTap

Your brain is constantly scanning your environment—and your internal world—for safety. For many migraine sufferers, overactive or dysregulated brainwave patterns are a hidden source of pain, tension, and overwhelm.

With Neurofeedback, we use gentle, real-time feedback to teach your brain how to shift into more stable, balanced patterns. You’ll simply sit comfortably while sensors monitor brain activity and send subtle cues that help your brain self-correct.

We may also incorporate BrainTap—a guided, multisensory technology that combines light, sound, and neuroacoustic frequencies to:

• Reduce stress and reactivity
• Improve sleep and mental clarity
• Support the brain’s natural healing rhythms

Cranial & Chiropractic Care

Many migraines stem from structural imbalances—whether from poor posture, past injuries, TMJ dysfunction, or subtle cranial misalignments that place tension on the nervous system.

At Brain Health D.C., we use precise, gentle chiropractic and cranial techniques to:

• Release mechanical pressure in the head, neck, and jaw
• Improve blood flow and lymphatic drainage to the brain
• Reduce nerve irritation, muscle tightness, and spinal misalignments
• Support brain-body communication through the vagus nerve and brainstem

Our approach is not about aggressive cracking or forced adjustments. Dr. Nisreen uses advanced tools like ErgoStyle FX flexion-distraction tables, vibration therapy, and cranial corrections that are tailored to each patient’s needs—especially important for those with sensitive nervous systems.

This therapy is especially helpful for patients with:

• Head-forward posture
• History of concussions or whiplash
• TMJ disorders
• Upper cervical misalignment
• “Tightness” at the base of the skull—often a hidden migraine trigger

Functional Nutrition

Migraines are often rooted in biochemical imbalances, which can’t be corrected through medication alone. Inflammation, blood sugar swings, nutrient deficiencies, and poor detox capacity all affect brain health—and can silently contribute to chronic headaches.

With Functional Nutrition, we identify your personal triggers and create a custom, anti-inflammatory plan to help your brain thrive.

Our approach may include:

• Lab testing for vitamin and mineral deficiencies (e.g., magnesium, B2, CoQ10)
• Assessment of food sensitivities and inflammatory markers
• Blood sugar and insulin regulation strategies
• Gut healing support to reduce neuroinflammation
• Whole-food-based supplementation when needed

Detoxification Support

Many migraine sufferers have underlying toxic burdens they may not even be aware of—such as hidden mold exposure, heavy metals, pesticides, or chemical sensitivities. These toxins can interfere with your nervous system, hormone function, and immune response, creating the perfect storm for recurring headaches and brain fog.

At Brain Health D.C., we offer gentle, integrative detox support tailored to each patient’s level of sensitivity. This may include:

• Ionic foot detoxes using the AMD IonCleanse
• Nutrient-based detox programs that support liver and lymphatic function
• Reducing environmental toxin load through lifestyle and household changes
• Supportive therapies like molecular hydrogen and infrared light

Breathwork & Nervous System Regulation

Migraines often appear when the body is stuck in a chronic fight-or-flight state. The nervous system becomes hypervigilant—constantly scanning for danger, even when you're at rest. This state of dysregulation can make even small triggers (like bright lights, loud sounds, or smells) feel overwhelming.

Through breathwork, vagal nerve activation techniques, and somatic tools, we teach your brain and body how to shift into safety, building the resilience and calm that are so essential for long-term healing.

You’ll learn:

• How to regulate stress responses in the moment
• Breath techniques that reduce tension and support brain oxygenation
• Practices that build autonomic nervous system balance
• Tools for emotional resilience and trauma release

Natural Relief Is Within Reach

If you’ve been told that your only option for migraines is to manage them with medication, please know—there is another way.

At Brain Health D.C., we’ve helped countless individuals break free from the cycle of chronic headaches, prescription dependency, and fear of the next flare-up. Through deep listening, personalized care, and natural, brain-based therapies, we support your body’s incredible ability to heal from within.
