When we experience pain and discomfort, we often look to get rid of it as fast as possible. It is important to start to view pain from a different lens. Pain is a symptoms. Like other symptoms, it is a communication tool to let you know that something is not right with your body.

When we start to dig deeper, we find and correct the cause of the headaches. As a result, people experience headaches less frequent, with less intensity. For some, they even have their migraines completely resolved.
