Freedom from Headaches

The Elephant in the Room


Listen Later

Welcome to the Freedom From Headaches podcast, where we challenge current assumptions about chronic migraine and tension headaches and explore what really causes them. In this episode, we tackle the elephant in the room - the multitude of medications and therapies that offer temporary relief but fail to provide a lasting solution for most headache sufferers.


Drawing inspiration from the Indian tale of the blind men and the elephant, we discuss how different therapies and treatments focus on specific aspects of headaches, like medication, adjustments, or massage, without addressing the underlying complexity of the condition. While each modality has its merits, we believe that no single therapy can fully address the multifaceted nature of chronic headaches.


We then delve into the story of Anne, a headache sufferer who experiences disappointment when her doctor fails to provide a clear diagnosis or effective treatment. We explore the frustration and fear that come with relying on temporary relief and the constant search for triggers and solutions.
Our unique approach involves measuring muscle tension, a common factor in all types of headaches.
