The Future of Laser Treatment for Migraine

igraine disorders affect more than 1 billion people across the globe, yet they remain deeply misunderstood. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Adam Harcourt to explore the true nature of migraines as a genetic neurological condition and to uncover why so many patients struggle to find lasting relief. Together, we examine the roots of migraine expression, including genetic vulnerability, environmental triggers, hormonal shifts, and the lifestyle factors that amplify neurological stress.

Our conversation also dives into the complex relationship between concussion and migraine. These conditions often overlap, or they are mistaken for one another, which can delay the right treatment. Dr. Harcourt explains how functional neurological assessments can help clinicians identify the specific pathways involved and create targeted strategies that match the needs of each patient.

We then discuss one of the most promising tools in migraine care: low-level laser therapy. Dr. Harcourt outlines how laser applications can reduce inflammation, support neural recovery, and help patients build resilience against recurring episodes. This episode offers science, clarity, and practical hope for anyone who lives with migraines or treats them in clinical practice.
