Episode Synopsis

In this episode of The Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves unpacks the connection between barometric pressure changes, headaches, and migraines. He explains how shifts in atmospheric pressure affect the joints—especially in the upper neck—by increasing joint pressure and inflammation, often leading to predictable pain during weather changes, altitude shifts, or even air travel. Dr. Taves also discusses why pressure changes don’t mean your headaches are unsolvable and shares practical steps you can take to reduce your risk, including improving neck mobility, managing tension, and preparing for forecasted weather shifts. If migraines tied to pressure changes leave you frustrated, this episode offers clarity and hope. Novera: Headache Center
