Physical therapist Lisa Morrone extends hope. Nearly 20 years of teaching, research, and treating patients have given her a comprehensive, multidisciplinary perspective. Headache/migraine sufferers don’t have to resign themselves to being pill-popping victims. Rather, they can achieve lasting changes by discovering how to…
- uncover the sources of head pain and avoid unnecessary medication
- eliminate pain originating from neck dysfunction or muscle tension
- ward off migraines and cluster headaches by pinpointing and avoiding “triggers”
- decide whether self-treatment, treatment by a practitioner, or a combination is best
- loosen the traps of stress, anger, and emotional/spiritual bondage that clamp down with head pain
This multifaceted resource combines effective habits, exercises, and lifestyle adjustments to end head-pain disability and give readers back a life to enjoy and share.

"As a physical therapist, researcher, and professor, I congratulate Lisa for providing chronic headache sufferers with the physical self-help tools necessary to manage and relieve their chronic pain. This offers hope to people who are many times resigned to a life of silent suffering and despair...
"Overcoming Headaches and Migraines is a gift, not only to headache sufferers, but also to those in the health professions who are committed to helping them."
—Howard W. Makofsky, PT, DHSc, OCS, former codirector, Headache Center, Southside Hospital, associate professor, New York Institute of Technology, and clinical assistant professor, SUNY Stony Brook
"Headaches are responsible for a significant amount of disease, suffering, and productivity loss in our society—and the medical community has lacked an integrated method of addressing this problem until now. So it is with genuine excitement I endorse Overcoming Headaches and Migraines, which provides a complete and understandable guide for both the practitioner and the patient. Additionally, Lisa Morrone's extensive preparation, research, and years of experience are reflected in the safe and clinically proven techniques she recommends. A must-read for primary and specialty providers...and of course, anyone who suffers from headaches."
—William Robert Spencer, MD, FAAP; ear, nose, and throat specialist
