SOLUTIONS
Acupuncture and professional natural medicine treatment are often much more successful in treating headaches. It can treat causes and not just suppress the symptoms AFTER the suffering has already occurred. Acupuncture is also excellent at preventing headaches and can even minimize severe pain during a headache!
Dr. Gorla has observed in his over 20 years of practice that chronic reoccurring headaches often have multiple causes. Thus they are usually treatment-resistant to a pharmaceutical pill that deals with one cause!
Commonly overlooked areas that lead to chronic headaches are the following:
1) Allergic
2) Stress physiology
3) Hormonal
4) Food allergy/intolerances
5) Inflammation

"I work in diagnostics, not medical but they are parallels. The best way I can describe my experience with Dr. Gorla is by comparing my previous care (fast food care) to five-star restaurant care (Dr. Gorla's care).
All my life I've been getting a version of medical care lacking dept, subtlety, precision, and built around fast turnarounds. Today I got to see what a real attempt to understand a medical problem looks like. It's a risky strategy in modern medicine because it's a much harder thing to profit at. Dr. Gorla is doing it anyway and you only have to talk to him to understand why: he cares about people and he is passionate about his field. I spent 11 years of my life dealing with regular severe migraines several times a week, and literally lost years of my children's life, my marriage, and potentially going to be bedbound due to the level of my suffering!
