There are almost 45 million people in the U.S. that suffer from headaches each year. It’s about one out of every six people.

Tension headaches are the most common form of headache followed by, migraines, and cluster headaches. They can range from being a nuisance to debilitating, but in most cases, there is a cause that can be discovered.

The Common Path

Almost 10 million Americans go to their medical doctor for help with headaches each year. Medication is the most common treatment option given but is that the best answer? Is medication designed to fix symptoms or the actual cause?
In most cases, medication is designed to alter the body in some way to alleviate the symptom. If something like medication brings relief that’s good, but ultimately you want to find the cause of the problem.

Imagine if you had big sliver stuck in your finger and instead of pulling it out you just numbed the area with some medication. It would be nice not to feel the pain, but the sliver stuck in your finger will continue to fester and lead to more problems. The best answer is to correct the cause.

A Different Path
