Product Description

As many as 45 million Americans have chronic and severe headaches—and they’re desperate for practical, clearly explained help and answers.

Physical therapist Lisa Morrone extends hope. Nearly 20 years of teaching, research, and treating patients have given her a comprehensive, multidisciplinary perspective. Headache/migraine sufferers don’t have to resign themselves to being pill–popping victims. Rather, they can achieve lasting changes by discovering how to...

• uncover the sources of head pain and avoid unnecessary medication
• eliminate pain originating from neck dysfunction or muscle tension
• ward off migraines and cluster headaches by pinpointing and avoiding “triggers”
• decide whether self–treatment, treatment by a practitioner, or a combination is best
• loosen the traps of stress, anger, and emotional/spiritual bondage that clamp down with head pain

This multifaceted resource combines effective habits, exercises, and lifestyle adjustments to end head–pain disability and give readers back a life to enjoy and share.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful resource for migraine sufferers, March 17, 2009

By	BunnyMom "Bunny" (East Coast) - See all my reviews

I have suffered from migraines for much of my life and it was so great to get a hold of Lisa's book. I learned a lot about triggers, the physical issues that cause migraines and the things that I can do to help prevent the migraines from occurring. The exercises and stretches are easy to do and I've seen a difference already in doing them whenever I can. While I have not stopped getting migraines all together, the frequency that I've had them has decreased significantly and I appreciate that more than I can say. This is a great book for any migraine sufferer and what is especially nice is that it's an easy read - very easy to understand. It's obvious that Lisa has a tremendous amount of hands-on experience with migraine sufferers and has a great handle on the issues that are present with the pain associated with migraines. Thank you, Lisa, for writing such a useful and practical book!

5.0 out of 5 stars a great tool for managing chronic headaches without medication!, October 14, 2008

By	L. Marlow (New York) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book has been very helpful to me as I battle with chronic migraines. It is insightful and practical, clinical and understandable. The techniques are easy to put into practice. Lisa references issues that other books I've read did not cover - such as experiencing just the visual symptoms of a migraine. I am very grateful for this book - it has helped me to battle my migraines naturally. I appreciate the spiritual perspective that the book is written from as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Personal and very practical, October 6, 2008

By	MetsFan - See all my reviews

I love this book! It is as if the author is talking directly to me and she has some insight into headaches that is unique (at least I have never heard about it before). The thing that I love about this book is that for some of us, there is hope that does not always include medication. A must read if you are struggling with migraines.
