Deserves Ten Stars
I’ve been suffering with migraines for decades. I know and avoid my triggers. I’ve seen numerous neurologists, but not once has my neck ever been considered as a migraine source. Thanks to Dr. Taves, it turns out that my neck was the missing link for me. Because of this podcast, I’ve addressed the neck with the correct kind of neck stretches, and the frequency of my migraines has gone way down, I stopped my daily preventative meds, and even when I feel the migraine coming, the exercises can stop the migraine cold in its tracks. Thanks so very much Dr. Taves!
Migrainer for life
This podcast is so helpful! As someone who has Chiari and had suffered debilitating headaches the majority of my adult life, this podcast has shed some new light on the symptoms I have, what to look for, where headaches comes from, in a way that makes sense to non-medical people. This podcast gives me hope and something to learn from. Thank you!!
Fascinating!!
I’ve suffered from weekly migraines for years and have figured out some of the triggers, but not been able to eliminate them completely. I’ve been researching some more recently to try to get to the bottom of it since I don’t want to rely on Advil to get me through the day (I’m a mom of five boys, 9 and under so I NEED to function!). I came across this podcast and what Dr. Taves is saying makes SO MUCH SENSE. And I super appreciate that in one of the episodes he mentioned how there can be other contributing factors too, like diet. I know that some foods (sugar, gluten, corn) make my headaches more frequent so they definitely play a part. But there was more I couldn’t quite figure out. I am excited to keep listening and seek treatment for my neck. I’m definitely eyeing that SAM device too! 😂
