Commonly Misunderstood Problems
 



The upper neck/base of the skull is THE place where these problems come from in the overwhelming majority of our patients. We meticulously evaluate that area, then teach you how to FIX the nerve compression problems there. That's how you become symptom-free!

STEP 1: Our headache physician, Dr. Holt, carries out a specialized, medical evaluation that focuses on your headache problem—that is
  • to see if you’re a candidate for our approach,
  • to address medication issues and related health history, and
  • to determine if specific diagnostic tests need to be done to screen areas of concern.

STEP 2: Then you would have a detailed evaluation of your neck by a Physical Therapist, whose specialty is headache referral patterns. This evaluation targets the nerves that come out of your neck and go into your ears, jaws, temples, forehead, eyes, sinuses, etc. It entails careful tracking of your symptom response to different head/neck positions in both sitting and lying, which tells him
  •  which nerves appear to be involved, and
  •  what approach to use to fix your problem as quickly as possible.

STEP 3: With your agreement on our approach to your pain problem, you begin treatment, which heavily relies on a home program. You learn exactly what to do, step-by-step through a carefully monitored progression, with total focus on not only quick pain relief, but also, permanently getting rid of your problem!
