Medical Daith Piercings for Migraines with Blue Banana
.jpg)
Blue Banana is delighted to be offering our new Medical Daith for Migraine service. We are working with Dr Chris Blatchley of the London Migraine Clinic, who has joined us as Medical Director in this first ever collaboration between piercers and doctors.
What Is It?
A Medical Daith Piercing is far more than just a cosmetic daith piercing. This is an enhanced daith piercing to ensure that the piercer locates the best piercing position.
The research published recently by Dr Blatchley found that 80% of patients had reported immediate improvement in their migraines. Furthermore, 40% reported their migraines were still greatly improved, or had stopped, 12 months later. You can read more about this research at www.migraine-research.org/useful-links/.
Over 85% of those coming in for a Medical Daith have visited their family doctor for their migraines, and found that the usual medical treatments have not worked. Many have even seen a hospital specialist a well.
We always recommend that anyone suffering from headaches should have the cause diagnosed by a doctor before having a Medical Daith.
How Much Does It Cost?
The standard price of a Medical Daith Piercing is £97.50 (subject to change).

Why is it more expensive than a cosmetic Daith Piercing?
A Medical Daith Piercing is far more than just a cosmetic piercing. It is a skilled procedure that takes extra time and training to carefully measure the optimum piercing position using a special protocol researched by Dr Blatchley.
The precise location on the ear varies from person to person, and if the wrong point is pierced the treatment does not work.
Unlike cosmetic piercings, appointments can last for 30 minutes (or more if necessary) to allow for the extra time to locate the correct position.

Are there age restrictions?

- If you are under 16, it is a legal requirement that you MUST come with a parent or guardian. Click here for more information.
- If you are still at school, there will probably be rules about piercings. Click here for more information.
How long does it take?
As this procedure is more specialist than an ordinary cosmetic daith piercing, it can take 30 minutes, or occasionally longer. The extra time allows for the piercer to take the additional steps to locate the optimum location for the piercing.
Is aftercare provided?
Blue Banana customers receive a complete guide to aftercare and will be given comprehensive aftercare instructions from the piercer.
We’ll get you to register online with London Migraine Clinic so that the LMC doctors can quickly and efficiently help you later if you were to need it. They will send you a comprehensive questionnaire about your migraines which will remain confidential and part of your medical record with LMC.
At your appointment, we will also ask you to join the year-long medical research follow-up study led by London Migraine Clinic. We hope that you will join in.
