Chronic Headache and Migraine Institute28 million Americans, or 12 percent of the population age 12 and older, suffer from Migraines. Women are five times more likely than men to be affected, and the pain is usually worst between the ages of 20 and 45. If you suffer from chronic headaches or migraines, then you already know the relentless pain and severe impact that they have on the quality of your life, often bringing it to a standstill. The Chronic Headache and Migraine Institute at St. John Health System is committed to providing a comprehensive program through coordinated care that focuses on you. Making positive changes through treatment is only one part of the equation, and St. John Health System is your partner in restoring your balance through a holistic approach that focuses on your physical, emotional and spiritual health and well-being through their Passion for Healing. When you experience a headache, it isn't your brain that's hurting. Your head aches because nerves in the bones, blood vessels and muscles of your head are irritated. These irritated nerves send pain signals to the brain, which identifies where you hurt and judges how bad the pain is.
