Ive had problems with headaches for years, and while reading was one way i got them. But....after reading through this book, i have been able to control my headaches a bit better than before, by learning some of the triggers that caused them. This book is the best one i have ever read before on headaches and how to deal with them.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST DOCTOR MUST BE BEST BOOK, March 13, 2008

By	macedonia, ohio - See all my reviews

Dr. Kunkel has treated me for well over 20 years. He is the best Doctor I have ever had and is truly dedicated. I have had Migraines for 41 years that I can remember but Dr. Kunkel sure has them under control. There isn't a question you can't ask him that he doesn't seem to know. I am sure his book is the best ever. I can't wait to read it. No one will go wrong with this book I'm sure if you want to learn about headaches.

Medical doctor Robert S. Kunkel has specialized in treading headache patients for forty years. Headaches: A Cleveland Clinic Handbook presents his decades of experience in plain terms for readers of all backgrounds. From the different types of headaches (including migraine, tension, and cluster), to truths and myths about headache remedies, promising new drugs for headache sufferers, how specialists design treatment plans that work, and more, Headaches: A Cleveland Clinic Handbook lives up to Cleveland Clinic's sterling reputation as the go-to publisher for health and medical information. Highly recommended.
