Studies have shown:
A headache is pain or discomfort anywhere in the region of the head or neck. Headaches are the most common health complaints experienced by every person at some point during their life. Most headaches are not serious and can be treated with OMT, lifestyle changes, and medications. There are many different types of headaches and it is important to know the particular type of headache you have.
A migraine is a common type of headache usually felt as a throbbing pain on one side of the head.
Next sectionThe exact cause of migraine is unknown but may occur from a series of changes in brain chemicals. Migraines occur more often in women than men and may run in families. Migraine attacks may be associated with alcohol use, smoking, lack of sleep, prolonged muscle tension and stress, changes in hormone levels during a woman’s menstrual periods or with the use of oral contraceptives, and certain foods – especially chocolate, cheese, nuts, alcohol, and foods containing preservatives and artificial sweeteners.

Pain often starts as a dull ache and can worsen within minutes or hours and may be associated with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, visual disturbances, and sensitivity to light and sound. Migraines can last a few hours or even up to one or two days. Some people with migraines experience prodromal symptoms including repeated yawning, food cravings, mood changes, and altered perception of heat and cold. These symptoms occur several hours before the headache begins.

Frequently asked questions
What should I wear to my appointments?
Loose-fitting clothing or gym clothes
How many visits will I need?
This is variable depending upon what is being treated and how extensive your treatment needs to be. Our goal is to bring you to optimal health so that you won’t need to continually return.
What is the difference between licensing and board certification for a physician, and do you have any of these?
Physicians are required to be licensed to practice medicine in the U.S. by the licensing board in each state they wish to practice.
A board certified physician has completed an additional training program in a specialty and has passed a rigorous exam to assess his or her knowledge, skills and experience to provide quality patient care in that specialty.
In my case, I am licensed to practice medicine in Texas, and I have two board certifications. The first one is Family Medicine and the second one is Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine/Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine.
