Headaches are real. Headaches are also very common.

Each year, 90% of men and 95% of women will have at least one. Headache experiences, on the other hand, are anything but common. For some, headaches can get so severe, that family, social and work life takes a serious hit, causing us to "shut down". Worse yet, headaches are very personal, with combinations of triggers ranging from hormones to weather, stress to diet. So, the approach to headache care needs to be as personal as the headaches are.
