For many who suffer from chronic migraines, relief can feel like an unattainable goal. Years of frustration, misdiagnoses, and temporary solutions often leave individuals feeling hopeless. Amanda Gerber was one of those people—until she found Novera: Headache Center.
A Lifetime of Headaches
Amanda’s battle with migraines began in childhood, as early as fifth grade. What started as occasional, debilitating headaches quickly became a recurring nightmare, impacting her education, social life, and overall well-being. Mondays were the worst—she often found herself missing school after weekends filled with what she later realized were migraine triggers.
As Amanda grew older, she tried everything to manage her condition. Lifestyle adjustments, dietary changes, chiropractic care, and functional medicine all provided marginal benefits, but nothing truly resolved the issue. Medications like ibuprofen helped temporarily, but they never addressed the root cause. Worse still, the unpredictability of her migraines left her feeling anxious and confused, wondering if every small decision—from drinking soda to wearing glasses—might trigger an episode.
A New Hope: Discovering Novera
Amanda first heard about Novera: Headache Center through a friend who had also suffered from chronic headaches. Despite her initial skepticism—after all, 25 years of headaches had conditioned her to expect disappointment—she decided to give it a try. She had nothing to lose.
Walking into her first appointment, Amanda was guarded and unsure. Would this just be another failed attempt at relief? But from the very beginning, she noticed something different about Novera’s approach. The team genuinely listened. They took the time to understand her history, her triggers, and her symptoms in a way no provider had before. They weren’t just treating the headaches—they were treating her.
Breakthrough Moments and Real Progress
The first few visits were not an overnight cure. In fact, Amanda experienced some lightheadedness and fatigue as her body adjusted to the treatment. But she pushed through, knowing that real healing takes time.
By her fourth visit, something incredible happened. She went on a ten-day trip—one that involved long travel days and other headache triggers—and for the first time in years, she didn’t have a single migraine. It was a turning point. She began to trust the process and committed fully to the lifestyle changes and techniques recommended by Novera.
The Power of a Comprehensive Approach
One of the biggest revelations for Amanda was how interconnected her symptoms were. She had spent years attributing her headaches to sinus issues, hormonal changes, or external factors. What she learned at Novera was that these were all pieces of a larger puzzle—tension, posture, inflammation, and nervous system sensitivity were all contributing factors.
By making small but impactful changes—such as modifying her posture, adjusting her sleeping position, and staying mindful of triggers—Amanda experienced a level of relief she hadn’t thought possible. Even her anxiety and energy levels improved, proving that migraines aren’t just about head pain—they affect the entire body.
Life Beyond the Headaches
Today, Amanda’s life looks drastically different. She’s no longer controlled by the fear of her next migraine. Her headaches are significantly reduced in intensity, frequency, and duration. Perhaps even more importantly, she feels empowered—armed with the knowledge and tools to manage her health proactively.
Her message to others who are struggling? Take the chance. This could be different from anything you’ve tried before.
