Migraine Survival

Migraine Survival was started by Dr. Christina Peterson to bring about more awareness of migraine and other headache types, including awareness about all the associated health conditions that exist for headache sufferers. The purpose of this site is for both headache patients and the health professionals who care for them to learn more about headaches in order to achieve better control of their headaches, so that they can live their lives with less pain and with better quality of life. All content is written by experts, and is verified by one of our Board of Experts before publication. Revised content will be periodically updated. Need to contact Migraine Survival?
