Alterative therapy could offer you a more long-term approach to managing frequent migraines and headaches.

When it comes to traditional medicine, it’s normal for a doctor to just hand over pain medications to help you when a severe headache or another migraine begins to brew. The problem is, prescribing medication is a quick fix. It doesn’t determine the cause of your headaches or provide you with a more long-term solution. This is where our St. Louis, MO, holistic medicine doctor Dr. Tipu Sultan comes in. If you’re tired of being dependent on medication to get even an ounce of relief from your headache symptoms, then we can help.
