From Teens to Seniors: Free Online Workshop Tackles Chronic Headaches

Crystal Lake, IL - Chronic headaches affect more than 350 million people in the U.S., impacting individuals of all ages, from teens and students to working professionals and retirees. For many, the pain continues even after medical tests come back normal, leaving them frustrated, confused and often without answers.

Dana has focused more than half of her career on extensive continuing education and training to effectively treat individuals living with headaches, concussions, dizziness, vertigo, balance disorders, fall risk, and TMJ disorders.

Workshop attendees will learn:

• The most common types of headaches and how migraines are diagnosed neurologically
