I know of a person who suffered from migraines and since having some special massage to correct the position of the neck the migraines are gone. Having said that I continue to have them but I think mine are more stress related. Probably ostheopaty may help.

get a second professional opinion. Bug your doc until he refers you. I got refered to my local hospital to have some checks which really put my mind at rest.
