Medication overuse headaches develop when frequent use of painkillers or migraine drugs creates a rebound cycle, worsening the very symptoms they are meant to relieve. A root cause analysis is crucial because simply stopping medication rarely resolves the deeper problem. By exploring why headaches began—nutritional imbalances, hormonal shifts, stress, sleep disruption, or structural issues—practitioners can identify and address the true triggers. This approach breaks the cycle of dependency, restores neurological balance, and provides lasting relief. Targeted interventions empower clients to regain control, reduce headache frequency, and rebuild long-term resilience without relying on constant medication.
