Dr. Jonathan Taves

In this episode of the Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves dives into this 3-Step Framework involved in finding relief from Headaches/Migraines and improving your overall health: 

  • Step 1-Think about the Source (of pain)- what structure/tissue is generating the pain. How do your symptoms present? What area do you experience pain- the Jaw (temple pain), shoulders, eyes?  
  • Step 2- Is it a Developmental Problem? 
  • Step 3- What is the Environment the pain is perceived in? How is your gut health and inflammation? Do you have a hormone imbalance? Do you have a history of exposure to toxins? All of these things impact your Threshold and a lot of these issues can be addressed by Functional Medicine.

At Novera we use this framework as a way to evaluate every patient that we see and seek to connect you with a provider that is appropriate if there is developmental or environmental problem involved.
