Ep. 198 - Understanding Chronic Headaches and Migraines

In this episode of The Smartest Doctor in the Room, Dr. Dean Mitchell sits down with headache specialist Dr. Robert Kaniecki from the University of Pittsburgh Medical School to break down everything you need to know about chronic headaches and migraines. Together they explore the different types of headaches, how to properly evaluate and diagnose them, and the latest treatments - from classic medications to cutting-edge options like CGRP inhibitors and Botox therapy. They also discuss common triggers such as stress, sleep, diet, and screen time, and when imaging tests like MRIs are actually necessary. Whether you experience tension headaches or debilitating migraines, this conversation offers clear, practical guidance for understanding symptoms, avoiding medication overuse, and finding real relief.Contact Dr. Mitchell:Email: care@mitchellmedicalgroup.comWebsiteInstagramYouTubeFacebookLinkedInBook: Conquering CandidaImmunoLytics - code SmartestDoc, 5% offApollo Neuro - code SMARTMD
