3 things Neurologists won’t tell you about Headaches.

If I knew this about headaches……

Hey all!

Jason here,

Your friendly, neighbourhood Pain expert and the owner of the Only place to go for Headaches.

This week I am going to talk about the research on Headaches and Migraines. You will find out things the Neurologists very rarely tell patients about Headaches and why pain killers are not the miracle cure for Headaches and Migraines it is advertised as.

1. Of the people with headaches that were studied 37% were dissatisfied with how fast the medicine worked, 50% with how the pain always comes back, and 42% with the needing to take a second dose of pain killers.

The Why: Pain killers and other drugs are ineffective for the treatment of headaches as they do not work on the cause of the headache. the reason being there is no recent injury or inflammation causing the headache that those kinds of pills will work on alleviating. That is why your headache either does not get better while using them or why they keep coming back no matter what kind of pills you use.

1. 70% of people said that stress was the factor that worsened their headache the most. Migraine sufferers said they avoided spending time with friends and family to try to manage their Headaches outside of the hospital. This, they said, was the major contributor to their depression.

The WHY: If you had a headache all the time no matter what you did, felt that everything made it worse and think you would spend the rest of your life like this, wouldn’t you be depressed, irritable, avoid spending time with your friends and family to not ruin their day or feel like a burden on them?

I would. IF headache is the problem being made worse by stress then shouldn’t we fix the headache first?

1. Of all people studied who had headaches and Migraines 79.7% said they were willing to try another treatment method to get a better result than the pain medication they were on.
The Why: Most people are so fed up with how poorly medication works to treat and prevent their headaches that they would be willing to try anything else to get a better outcome. Some are so fed up they stop their pain killers altogether.
Wouldn’t you stop if the pills you were told would work do absolutely nothing for you?
What would the point be to take them then?
Wouldn’t you want to try something completely different to get a different result?

BONUS FACT THAT SURGEON WON’T TELL YOU
The National Institute of clinical excellence in the UK said that “Paracetamol, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (AKA NSAIDs) (these include aspirin and ibuprofen), benzodiazepines or opioids should not be offered for the management of Headaches and Migraines. This is because there was little or no evidence that they made any difference to people’s quality of life, pain, or psychological distress.

There you go. Even the experts from the UK that guide The Doctors and specialist have said that pain killers and anti-inflammatory do not work for old Headaches.

Jason

I had back pain for almost 2 years, I relied heavily on strong pain killers and I was about to do an operation, but the day I met Jason everything changed, I have healed no more pain no more taking pain killers.

Mmabatho

Jason has been the best physiotherapist. He had literally changed my life. I’ve gone to several physiotherapists before who have not been able to solve my back problem. However, with Jason he made me feel as if I can recover and in a quick time I actually did. I’d highly recommend his practice

Will

Jasons’ service has been impeccable. He is very professional, friendly and relatable to his clients.

Mathikazi

Super professional! Holistic therapy focuses on overall wellbeing over the long term. My child’s shoulder and consequently sleeping problem were properly dealt with.

Lerato

First of all, you should know how friendly he is. He isn’t as rude as the others are. Even though the treatment hurt I felt healed afterwards. Even after some days I still don’t feel the pain. He even helps distract me while he is working so it isn’t as sore. He also made me feel comfortable very quickly and that made things a lot more fun and easy.

Queen

Most informative and upfront Physio I have ever had the pleasure of receiving treatment from. He is honest and worked hard to fix my problem. Extremely satisfied with the results.

Nick

BRILLIANT. My problems were being resolved from day one. He guided me through exercises and strengthening me to prevent further injuries. I would recommend him to anyone.

Durran

BRILLIANT. My problems were being resolved from day one. He guided me through exercises and strengthening me to prevent further injuries. I would recommend him to anyone.

Durran

The treatment I got was so good. He has a magic touch because anywhere I had pain, he touched and my pain went away. The exercise we did was marvellous. The exercises we did made me feel so good. In the four days, we worked I felt great afterwards. I want to call and send my friends and family to him so he can help them.

Malatji

So I hobbled (I used to need a walking stick) into his office but now I don’t. If you’re looking for a physiotherapist who’s going to be straight with you and actually address your pain, Jason Roets should definitely be your choice. Now I walk well WITHOUT my walking stick! And no more pain!

Zinz

Jason is deeply invested in the recovery and wellbeing of his patients. He has a holistic approach and takes all factors – past and present – into account when providing treatment. He works to fix the root of problems, rather than simply treat immediate symptoms. His care and passion for what he does are undeniable

Gina

I had extreme pains in my neck. After a few sessions with Jason, I feel much relieved and pain-free. Jason is very friendly and engages with his clients in his sessions, which helps create a connection on an emotional level not only physical.

Jonathan

I think it’s the best thing I could do to treat my back pain. It took a while before I went in and I wished I when sooner. I really liked how fast he responded and wanted to see me so quickly. I also liked how the ebooks he has was really helpful that I got through seeing it on Facebook.

Charles

Jason has been great and patient with me through the journey. I have been suffering from backache and headache for a long time and he helped me for 2 weeks and already there is a huge difference. Thanks for your help 😊

Nkope

I was desperate to get help for my back. A neurosurgeon said I needed surgery but I refuse to go because there is no one to look after me while I recover. And with covid, I will not go to the hospital because that’s where you get it. I’m so glad I went to Jason because he really helped and I don’t need surgery anymore.

Jane

I would like other people to consider using him because of how much he has helped me. If you feel like you need help you should contact him I didn’t know how connected the body was and how old injures can make me have pain now. Now i don’t feel any pain and the exercises helped so much I’m no longer stiff and my back pain is gone

Sylvia

I had an injured back muscle for more than a year. I was assisted by a clinic specializing in those kinds of injuries which took a lot of sessions to relieve some of the pain. Jason’s physio treatment took 2 sessions! Thanks, Jason!

Gerhard

Excellent service! Wow! Beyond amazed at the high level of accuracy carried out through the process of my treatment. I am completely free of all the pain was experiencing! Again, Wow!

Baatseba

I advised you to do it. Because I experience the pain that I had couldn’t even allow me to walk with confidence. My pain was heavy on me. My body was so heavy. The pain was so sore. He even picked up things that I didn’t even know if had. I sleep so much better now. But now I don’t have any problems

Aldine

I had back pain for almost 2 years, I relied heavily on strong pain killers and I was about to do an operation, but the day I met Jason everything changed, I have healed no more pain no more taking pain killers.
