Are sinus symptoms part of your migraine experience? It is time to rethink how we understand this and see that the sinus symptoms are the cause of your migraines. After sharing her experiences with migraines, Amy Cassels was put in contact with Dr. Kevin Smith to experience his expertise and reputation for treating (and curing) migraines. Dr. Smith is an ENT (ear, nose, and throat specialist) who discovered the connection between your sinuses and migraines. Why is seeing an ENT better than a neurologist when treating migraines? Dr. Smith provides insight into the critical role of the nose and sinuses and how his ever-evolving passion is helping people understand why they are looking in the wrong places when they are treating their migraines. Dr. Smith talks about taking the leap from treating headaches to tackling migraines, the beauty of treatment with no medication, and how he has experience curing every type of migraine. It is time to stop suffering and look for a cure in the place you never thought of before, your nose!
