The statistics in the USA regarding the prevalence of chronic headaches within the adult population are staggering and relatively unchanged over the last 20 years.
* One in six Americans report living with chronic severe headaches. [i]
* Severe headaches constitute the fourth reason for visits to hospital Emergency Departments. [ii]
* Depending on which report you read, 16.6% to 22.7% of the US population reported migraine or severe headaches in the last 3 months of 2011. [iii]
In the most recent study I could find on migraines and severe headaches (2018), I read the following conclusion:
“Severe headache and migraine remain important public health problems that are more common and burdensome for women, particularly women of childbearing age, and other historically disadvantaged segments of the population.” [iv]
If you would like to learn how to transform the lives of people living with head pain and transform a sluggish practice into a thriving, focused business, please join me for an upcoming Say Goodbye to Headaches workshop.
In addition to designing individualized hands-on session protocols utilizing reflexology, hydro and aromatherapy, you will leave with the materials and skills needed to classify headaches, coach one-on-one or offer small classes in your community to those people who are sick and tired of living with headaches.
