Recent studies show that one in four Americans have reoccurring severe headaches such as migraines.1  A migraine is different from a headache in that a migraine is a sudden and strong pounding headache on one side of the head typically described as throbbing or pounding.2 Many times the pain is worse with physical activity and may be associated with nausea, vomiting, light and sound sensitivity.

The Journal of General Internal Medicine writes earlier this year that 12 million Americans visit their doctor complaining of headaches each year at an annual cost of $31 billion and suggests more doctors should talk to patients about life style changes instead of prescribing anti-migraine medications.  While those are important aspects to consider, Dr. Geoff Besso goes beyond life style changes to successful improve the symptoms of those people who enter his office suffering with migraines.

The reality is that migraines can last from several hours to days which not only affect your mood, quality of life, productivity and energy, but the lives of those around you as well.  Dr. Besso’ clinical data agrees with research published by Dr. Erin Elster that in most cases an accident, injury or fall preceded the start of migraines whether it be a few hours prior or a few years.3   Dr. Besso is an upper cervical chiropractic expert who focusses on a gentle specific technique that is helping the men and women of Ohio begin to live a life free of headaches, with increased energy, productivity, and better mood!
