Dr. Jeff Harris here, and I’m the Director of The Migraine Headache Center of Pennsylvania, located in Kennett Square, PA. Today I would like to speak with you about a specific problem in the healthcare industry. A knowledge gap exists with primary care physicians, chiropractors, and even specialists when it comes to understanding the forces behind most painful headache and migraine conditions.
How Widespread is the U.S. Headache and Migraine Problem?
Why are the majority of those migraine and headache pain relief seekers coming back empty-handed? One reason is that most migraine and headache patients are under-diagnosed or misdiagnosed, as well as under-treated and/or treated incorrectly. In fact, less than 50% of migraine sufferers have actually received a diagnosis for migraine from their healthcare provider, according The National Headache Foundation. Furthermore, many that have a legitimate migraine condition have been misdiagnosed with tension-type headaches or sinus headaches.
There are other reasons people can’t find help for the pain. Some of it has to do with lack of education regarding the causes of headache and migraine pain – both patient and provider – and many simply have no access to quality healthcare.
Regarding Traditional Headache and Migraine Treatments
The answer is painfully simple – through no fault of their own, those are the only solutions that most care providers have any familiarity with. This is what they were taught in med school, or chiropractic training programs, and this is what they will fall back on when treating patients.
The fact remains that millions are suffering and seeking answers from their care providers or specialists, and that traditional treatment protocols seem to have hit a wall. What further proof is needed to show that the most of these traditional solutions are either ineffective, or don’t last? I would say not much, but the paradigm IS shifting from traditional headache and migraine treatments to new, more advanced treatments that actually ARE working.
Recent Advances in Headache and Migraine Treatments
The main difference between the newest treatment protocols for headache and migraine and the traditional treatments used in the past (and current) is this: these newer breakthrough therapies are treating the root cause of headache and migraine pain – not just the symptoms.
Important to note is that only very recently has the medical community at large learned that many painful headaches and migraines are directly linked to neuromuscular imbalances found in the head and neck, the face and teeth, and the joints of your jaw. This is where most doctors and chiropractic specialists do not know nearly enough – where a profound knowledge gap exists. Most have NO specialized training in this area. It is no wonder that traditional treatments continue to underachieve.
