Deserves Ten Stars
I’ve been suffering with migraines for decades. I know and avoid my triggers. I’ve seen numerous neurologists, but not once has my neck ever been considered as a migraine source. Thanks to Dr. Taves, it turns out that my neck was the missing link for me. Because of this podcast, I’ve addressed the neck with the correct kind of neck stretches, and the frequency of my migraines has gone way down, I stopped my daily preventative meds, and even when I feel the migraine coming, the exercises can stop the migraine cold in its tracks. Thanks so very much Dr. Taves!

This podcast gives me hope and something to learn from. Thank you!!
