Medical Considerations
by Joel Reiter, M.D., Neurologist

This training is designed for people who have excluded more serious medical causes of headaches. If your problem has started recently, or you have never sought medical attention for your headaches visit your doctor before starting this training. If you experience early morning headaches on awakening, fever with headaches or neurological symptoms such as loss of vision, numbness or weakness of part of your body, severe dizziness or loss of consciousness consult your doctor to exclude more serious medical conditions associated with your headache.

Migraine headaches can sometimes be helped by medication, especially if the headaches occur less than 1-2 times per month and come on quickly and stop within a day. If migraine headaches are more frequent they are usually associated with significant muscle contraction which may be aggravated by over-the-counter or prescribed medications. The Headache Relief Training can help you with these headaches.

If you take analgesic medications (Tylenol, aspirin, ibuprofen, Aleve, codeine, Vicodin etc.) most days for headaches, you are suffering from medication withdrawal headaches. This course can help you deal with these headaches differently.

Remember these are your headaches and only you have the ability to learn the techniques that will help you deal with your headaches more effectively!
