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.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you take medication for headaches or migraines, it’s important to understand what it can help with—and what it was never designed to fix.
In this episode of the Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves breaks down the role of medication in headache and migraine management, including how medications can reduce symptoms, why they don’t address the root cause, and how to think about medication as one tool—not the whole solution.
We cover:
- What medication can do for migraine symptoms
- What medication can’t fix when it comes to root causes
- Why symptom relief is different from healing
- How medications affect pain signals, transmission, and perception
- Why many people feel stuck in a cycle of symptom management
- Natural ways to support your body through sleep, movement, sunlight, nutrition, and stress regulation
If you’ve ever wondered whether your medication is helping, masking the problem, or keeping you stuck in a cycle, this episode will help you think about migraine relief more clearly.
