Then, Dr. Howland releases or removes the tissue pressing on those nerves. Because many patients have tried medicine without enough relief, this can offer a new path forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
Migraine surgery treats the nerves that can trigger your headaches. Your surgeon relieves pressure on those nerves by releasing or removing nearby tissue. Avant Plastics will review your medical history to see if it could help relieve your symptoms.
In South Jordan, we often find that suitable candidates experience frequent migraines that medicine cannot relieve. A diagnosis from a neurologist or headache specialist often comes first. From there, Dr. Howland and our team evaluate whether your triggers can be treated surgically.
After surgery, many patients feel fewer or milder migraines, and some experience none. However, results vary, and no surgery can promise a cure. Our team will explain what relief you can realistically expect.
Most people notice swelling, bruising, and soreness for 1 to 2 weeks. You may return to light activity soon, though your surgeon will guide this timing as you heal. Following migraine treatment in South Jordan, we will give you a clear after-care plan so you know what to expect from recovery.
