At Brain Health Institute, we believe that the best neurological care treats the whole person—not just the symptoms. That's why holistic therapies are a core part of our practice, fully integrated with medical and interventional treatments. Dr. Deena Kuruvilla has published peer-reviewed research on evidence-based integrative treatments for headache and brings that expertise directly to her patients. Her biopsychosocial approach recognizes that biological, psychological, and lifestyle factors all play a role in neurological health, and that addressing each of these areas leads to better, longer-lasting results.
Our holistic offerings focus on therapies that are supported by scientific evidence. Certain nutraceuticals and supplements—including magnesium, riboflavin (vitamin B2), and butterbur—have been shown in clinical studies to help reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks. We also provide expert guidance on behavioral and wellness techniques such as mindfulness, relaxation training, biofeedback, and cognitive behavioral strategies, which can calm the nervous system and reduce the impact of stress on headache and other neurological conditions. In addition, we counsel patients on the lifestyle foundations of brain health, including sleep hygiene, hydration, nutrition, and regular physical activity.
What sets our approach apart is careful, individualized guidance. The world of supplements and alternative therapies can be overwhelming, and not every popular remedy is safe or effective. Dr. Kuruvilla helps you separate evidence-based options from unproven trends, selects therapies that complement your existing treatment plan, and ensures that supplements will not interact with your medications. Whether you are looking to reduce your reliance on medication, enhance the effectiveness of your current treatment, or simply take a more natural approach to your neurological health, our team will help you build a holistic plan tailored to your goals.
