At Novera: Headache Center, we believe that lasting headache and migraine relief is possible—without dependence on medication. Through our virtual coaching program, we help clients uncover and address the root cause of their pain: the neck. This is not a generic approach. It’s a personalized, empowering journey that blends education, movement-based therapy, and specialized tools. And no one demonstrates this better than Sorrell, a former coaching client whose life was transformed through the program.
A Life Defined by Headaches
Sorrell spent most of her adult life battling debilitating headaches. They were more than an inconvenience—they became part of her identity.
“It felt like I’d always had them… When people thought of me, it was, ‘Oh yeah, Sorrell gets really bad migraines.’”
Her headaches were severe and long-lasting, often stretching across three full days. Despite living a healthy lifestyle, nothing seemed to help—not even the medications she took in desperation. She recalls the helplessness vividly:
“Every tablet imaginable, taking more than I should, nothing helping… I just thought, I can’t live like this.”
“Eventually they just got longer and longer and tablets really wouldn’t work at all. It went from ‘they helped’ to just, ‘I may as well have not taken them.’”
It wasn’t until one particularly painful day that she discovered the Headache Doctor Podcast. For the first time, someone was talking about headaches the way she experienced them—head pain stemming from the neck.
From Skeptic to Success Story
Initially skeptical of a remote solution, Sorrell eventually enrolled in Novera’s virtual coaching program out of pure necessity.
“I wanted to do it right and go see you in person. But being in LA, I just couldn’t. Still, everything you taught me—even virtually—has been worth it.”
Through virtual sessions, she discovered that her pain—localized to one side of her head and eye—wasn’t neurological or hormonal, as she had been told for years. Instead, it was rooted in neck dysfunction. With consistent guidance and personalized coaching, Sorrell finally had clarity. She wasn’t just being handed general advice; she was being coached on how her daily movements, posture, and sleep habits were affecting her neck—and her headaches.
Tools for Transformation: Exercises, Education, and the SAM Device
The coaching process wasn’t a magic fix—it required Sorrell’s commitment and consistency. But with the right tools and support, she began to notice real change. Central to her progress were three key elements:
-
Personalized Exercises
These targeted her neck mobility and helped reduce the buildup of tension that was leading to pain. -
Lifestyle Coaching
Sorrell was guided on how seemingly small habits—like her sleep position or bike posture—were impacting her neck. Once she started tracking her habits and identifying patterns, the path to healing became clear. -
The SAM Device
A standout in her journey was the SAM device, designed to target tension at the base of the skull. For Sorrell, the SAM device became a game-changer.“it works. One day I felt a headache coming on, used the SAM device for longer than usual, and the headache never came. It was like catching it before it started.”
The SAM device replicates the tension relief she used to get from manually pressing her hand on her skull—except more effectively and without causing harm. Using it daily not only helped prevent headaches but also gave her a tangible way to manage early symptoms.
Lasting Relief Through Empowerment
Sorrell didn’t experience overnight results. There were setbacks, and at times, doubt. But with each coaching session, she gained more insight into her body’s needs and learned how to take control of her health.
“There’s not one thing that’s going to cure it. But once I got consistent with the exercises, my sleep position, and used the SAM device—I stopped having headaches.”
Her story underscores a powerful truth: the path to lasting relief isn’t through stronger pills or more diagnoses. It’s about understanding how your daily life impacts your neck—and learning how to reverse that tension in sustainable, natural ways.
