Estimates indicate there are more than 45 million headache sufferers in the United States  alone.  Yet, only 16% of headache attacks are migraine .

Chronic headache sufferers often experience more than one type of headache.  This makes getting to the root headache cause difficult.  In fact, many go undiagnosed or undertreated.

Their headaches lead to real disabilities, interrupting family and work life.  Compared to the non-headache population, they are at substantial risk for other disorders such as anxiety and depression.

Headache causes are many and proper diagnosis is required to unravel these causes.  Often vascular headaches are brought on as a result of chronic headache tension.  Muscle tearing is frequently a primary headache cause that is experienced by many individuals.  Over a period of time chronic muscle pain depletes brain neurotransmitters inducing a "cycle of pain" and predisposing the headache victim to onsets of migraine and other vascular headaches.
