The Headache Doctor Podcast
Even after trying medication, lifestyle changes, and other “research-backed treatments” for migraine symptoms, does nothing feel like it’s really solving the issue?
The Headache Doctor Podcast is on a mission to provide education and empower everyone with headaches and migraines to break FREE from a life of fear and dependence so that they can THRIVE in everything they do.
Dr. Taves, founder of the podcast and owner of Novera: Headache Center believes you deserve to feel in control of your health again — with more symptom-free days and less worry over when the next migraine will hit. Physical therapy for the neck at his clinic has decreased headache and migraine symptoms for hundreds of people.
Each week he dives into a topic related to headaches and migraines, or interviews experts to help you be informed as you manage your headaches and migraines.

His clinic also provides health coaching for patients out of state, and of course - in person care if you’re in Colorado!
