Description:
Master your migraines using Dr. Carolyn Bernstein’s highly successful techniques and insights.
Drawing on seventeen years’ experience as a practicing neurologist, Dr. Bernstein explains why migraines happen, why they are misdiagnosed, and why so few people get the right treatment. She reveals the latest research and breakthrough that have made treatment and recovery possible, including migraine-specific drugs and complementary treatments such as yoga.
The Migraine brain has the information you need to understand that a migraine isn’t just a headache: it’s a serious, yet treatable, condition.
