Headaches, particularly migraines, are often shrouded in mystery. Their causes and mechanisms have eluded scientists and medical practitioners for years. Generally, medicine says that a headache comes from nerves and is a neurological issue. But what if I told you there's more to this story than meets the eye and this is not always the case?

Headaches are complicated and one key takeaway from my earlier research is the role of muscle tension in triggering headaches. When the muscles in the jaw and neck become tense, it can lead to a cascade of events that result in debilitating pain.

This perspective challenges the traditional view that separates headaches into distinct categories, such as migraine or tension headache. Instead, we see them as different expressions of the same underlying issue—muscle tension.

By addressing the root cause, we can offer treatment that not only alleviates pain but also improves the overall quality of life for headache sufferers.
I have redefined how we understand and treat headaches and can bring relief to millions who battle with these conditions every day.

In the realm of medicine, evidence is our compass, guiding us toward effective treatments. Sadly, the current classification of migraines lacks this essential foundation. It's my firm belief, bolstered by years of research and clinical practice, that we must revolutionize the approach to migraine care by demanding a system rooted in robust scientific research.

At the Headache Clinic in Johannesburg, South Africa, we're spearheading this change. We believe in a diagnostic framework and treatment approach that prioritizes scientific evidence. It's the only way forward, a path that leads to genuine understanding and lasting relief for migraine sufferers.

My quest has always been to redefine migraine care through research, data, and unwavering dedication to improving the lives of our patients.

Headaches, particularly migraines, have long been a medical enigma, with treatments often focusing solely on pain relief.

However, I've spent decades unraveling the intricacies of these conditions. What I've found is that the classification of headaches into distinct categories—like migraine, tension headache, or cluster headache—might not be as clear-cut as once thought. These various pain patterns could stem from the same underlying issue, akin to different symptoms of the same disease.
Rather than just addressing the pain, I believe it's crucial to identify and treat the root cause of headaches. The source of this pain lies in muscle tension, primarily in the jaw and neck muscles. When these muscles contract due to various triggers, it can lead to headaches of various types.
By understanding this process, we can offer treatment that doesn't merely mask the pain but eliminates it at its source. It's a novel approach that has transformed the lives of many headache sufferers.
I can make a difference in the lives of those who have long endured the burden of chronic headaches.

Science has a remarkable way of unraveling the mysteries of the human body, and it's an incredible journey to be part of. In the realm of headache treatment, scientific discovery has been the guiding force behind transformative breakthroughs.

My work in the field of headache treatment has led to groundbreaking revelations, particularly concerning the vascular aspects of migraines. Through extensive research and analysis, I've confirmed that vasodilatation is indeed a source of pain in migraine.

Moreover, this dilation doesn't involve intracranial vessels, as some almost universally believed. Instead, it's the extracranial terminal branches of the external carotid artery that emerge as a significant source of pain in migraines.

These findings challenge existing paradigms and have the potential to reshape how we approach migraine treatment. They offer new hope to individuals who have long suffered from debilitating headaches.

As we continue to harness the power of scientific discovery, we pave the way for medical advancements that improve the lives of patients worldwide.
