I have been suffering from migraines for over ten years. I would miss 1-2 days of work every month because they were so severe. I’ve seen two Neurologists, taken medications like Topamax that made me feel awful, but didn’t find anything that truly worked until I started going to the Texas Migraine Clinic. Now, I rarely have any headaches or migraines and am not taking the medications that made me feel sluggish and sometimes worse than before I took them.*

Homebound, this teen was rapidly able to return to high school and graduate. He is now a sophomore at Baylor University. “Every moment of every day, I had a headache. . . I have no medication use now. ..” His mom explained that his pediatric neurologist was planning on having him do an extensive cardiac workup to help assure his system could handle the heavy medication he was about to put him on. His parents were red flagged about that, so they sought out this natural solution. They totally overlooked the source of his symptoms- his neck at C5-6 C6-7.*
When I came to Dr. Turner’s office, my shoulders were on fire all day everyday. I was having migraines at least twice a week. Now I am symptom-free. My shoulders and neck have full range. Migraines are minimal. I have been blessed! Thank you for everything!*
I am so grateful for Dr. Turner, Dr. Horton and everyone at Texas Migraine Clinic. Their guidance has been a game changer for me! After months of mystery dizzy spells, I'm now having symptom free days... which are turning into symptom free weeks! My neck, shoulder, and jaw tension are gone too! 💖

Working with dr turner and associates has been a very easy and positive experience. Their physical approach to symptoms was welcomed as I was tired of relying on medication to resolve the pain. I learned so much about my stress triggers and how to manage without medication. They made me feel heard with the first complimentary call, and designed a program taking into account my personal situation.

Unbelievable results for neck pain, eye twitching, ears that pop, pressure behind my eyes. I had suffered for years and tried everything with no lasting results. My sister in law recommended Dr Turner and I was skeptical that with years of in person treatments from chiropractors and message that I would get results from video chat. Within just 1 week I saw results! I was amazed! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Jeff Turner has experience, expertise and knowledge that helped me go from migraine symptoms almost daily to experiencing a mild headache once every 2 weeks. Since I seem to be an atypical patient and my symptoms took longer than others’ to respond, I’m hoping that my headaches will completely resolve in a few more weeks. I was extremely skeptical at first that his methods would work ( I have had migraines for over 12 years, seen several physicians including 3 different neurologists, with partial relief of symptoms and have tried many medications including botox. None of them have been able to alleviate my symptoms as much as his seemingly simple, mechanical, non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical methods have helped). It takes daily diligence and patience, but I am so thankful that I came to him for treatment. I feel his method (in my case) is a true treatment and not just a bandage. Before, even on days I did not have a migraine, I suffered from “brain fog”. I have not had that feeling for several weeks now, and am hopeful that my migraines never come back. I am not sure this treatment is the answer to everyone who suffers from migraines, but I think it should be prescribed and tried by anyone who has migraines. At the risk of sounding like an advertisement, I beseech anyone suffering from migraines to at least consult with him to see if his methods can help you.

It is very humbling when the doctor becomes a patient. As a Chiropractor, I was feeling frustrated that I couldn’t help myself with my migraines. Dr. Turner turned the light on in a dark room. His compassionate bed side manner and confidence that he could help was exactly what I needed. He and his program gave me the tools I needed to help myself and in 6 short weeks, I went from having 7-8 migraines a month to 1!I am beyond thrilled with my results!

Even though I am currently under treatment I have found this method to help me live with less headaches for now. I would have constant light headaches and migraines very often and since I started this treatment (almost a week and a half) I have felt better and rarely a headache. I would also feel some fingers a bit numb or a tingling sensation and now its decreasing too. Scheduling a date its super easy and since the first free consult he found the main issue. His staff is one of the nicest when it comes to scheduling and to contact them for any question. Even thought I prefer an in person consult, he did an excellent job explaining and teaching his method throughout the videocalls. I hope that by following his method I would also live free of migraines and a better life free of pain. Personally want to thank Dr. Turner, Annabelle and Maria for their professionalism.

I’ve had migraines ever since childhood. I’ve tried multiple medications to decrease their frequency with no relief. Almost immediately I noticed improvement with Texas Migraine Clinic. After 6 weeks of treatment my migraine frequency and intensity has been drastically reduced. I’ve gone the past several weeks without a single headache. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who is a migraine sufferer.

Texas Migraine Clinic and Dr. Turner have helped me with my headaches. I have had headache for the last 40 years. I have been diagnosed with different headache from Migraine, cluster, and tension. The exercises that Dr. Turner taught me has helped me to get off a lot of pain medicine. The exercises help me to move or lessen the intensity of my headache. Thank you Dr. Turner for all of your help.

I have struggled with migraines for over 30 years and don’t like taking medication so I thought I would try a different approach. Dr Turner is very knowledgeable, compassionate and kind. After only one visit I noticed an improvement on some of my symptoms. Others have taken a bit longer. I highly recommend Dr Turner. His staff is easy to work with, especially Annabelle. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. The first visit is free of charge.

My name is John Lussier and am 30 years old. Where do I begin,,,,nearly 10 years of battling debilitating migraines that rendered my life and career unbearable. I have been on every drug, every diet and have had every test known to man. The first few weeks of treatment were rough but that was only because it was working. Hang in there with the treatment and the plan. I was between 4-5 number 10 migraines weekly. Now I am down to maybe two a month, they are of much shorter duration and manageable. Thank you so much Dr. Turner and your team for bringing me back to life. Dr. Turner is patient, kind , knowledgeable beyond belief in this area.

Dr. Turner and his staff have been an absolute blessing! I have prayed for help for Trigeminal Neuralgia for 13 years. After what was my worst flare up, I contacted his office. With his protocol I’m happy to say I’m at almost zero pain and have a new found hope for continuing my journey to healing. I have my life back and couldn’t be more grateful.

I am not exaggerating even a little when I say that the Texas Migraine Clinic changed my life! I had tried everything to get rid of my migraines for almost 15 years; prescription medications, restrictive diets, massage, acupuncture, essential oils....nothing helped. Within two weeks of beginning sessions with Dr. Turner, the debilitating headaches stopped. Within six weeks, even the mild headaches were gone. I cannot recommend this program enough!

As someone who has struggled with debilitating migraines for over 14 years, this has been a positively life changing in the most natural and simplest way ever.! I had seen every type of specialist from a neurologist , chiropractor, acupuncturist, PT, etc. I had tried stretching , yoga , massage therapy , even changing my diet to reduce inflammation. I’ve tried every oral med and injection for migraines and none of it helped long term. I only wish I had started / known of this earlier because I would’ve been able to have better quality of life. I was skeptical to try it, but I’m thankful I took a chance on myself and didn’t lose hope! I’ve been able to enjoy my sessions through zoom. I still have a few migraines here and there through the month , but I’m only on my second month and that is a huge improvement as I suffered daily with migraines. I’ve been able to stop my daily meds and just use my ubrelvy as needed . ! Dr. Turner, Dr. Stuart and all his staff are absolutely wonderful! If you’ve been suffering with migraines without relief , this is a must try! 🙂

Dr. Turner listened and figured out the problem was in my neck, in just a few short weeks Dr. Turner was able to get me out of pain that I have had daily for 30 years. I was told I had migraines and have been kept on a wide variety medicines that just gave me no relief. Neurologist after Neurologist would say things like "oh you have migraines here are the meds you should take" never really listening to me when I would say "how come I can't turn my head to the right" "Why can't I look up".I would HIGHLY recommend Texas Migraine Clinic!!Dr. Turner and staff are kind, caring people.

I suffer from vestibular migraine, and I don’t want to be tied to prescription medication for the rest of my life. I wanted to heal as naturally as I can, and Dr. Turner helped me get my life back on track. While I still have some vertigo issues, my symptoms have gotten significantly better since I began with TMC in late December 2020. I have a couple more months until I “graduate” from my exercises, but I am hopeful for what the future holds. All of the TMC crew are wonderful and super quick to respond to any questions. If you are committed to put the time and work in, I firmly believe TMC can help you heal, too.

Dr. Turner is a godsend I am so glad I found him and it was by accident but I am very blessed I did!.. I have been suffering with migraines since I was 16 years old... I’m 44 now!.. They just kept getting worse and worse and I’ve tried every medication there is from all sorts of pills to injections and still no hope in sight..:(I love being outdoors but with my migraines it’s not possible.. if it’s too bright or too hot it all triggered my migraines. Life just wasn’t that great..:(Dr.Turner has helped me tremendously!.. I haven’t had a bad migraine since the 26 and 27 of October 2020! My migraine lasted 2 horrible days.. Missed work and stayed in bed all day long in pain..:(Whats crazy is I started to see him on the 29th of October and like that!!.. Boom!! There Gone!!!Not one headache or migraine since then!..:)God Bless You Dr. Turner!!Thank You so much for giving me a life without pain and medications...🙏🙏🙏

I contacted Texas Migraine Clinic out of desperation. I did not want to start a preventative medication but was at 10-15 pain days a month, sometimes more. I kept seeing an ad on Facebook so decided to just try it. After three virtual visits with Dr Turner, the chronic almost daily pain I was having is gone. Before treatment, 90% of my migraines felt like they were coming from my neck. I would say if I can just snip one or two nerves that start in my neck and go into my head, my problems would be solved. haha Dr Turners treatment fixed that pain I was feeling!!! No question, this treatment was life changing.

2 years of constant neck/head pain was much improved after 2 sessions with Dr. Turner. I had tried physical therapy in the past several times with PT's in my area. It helped short term but the pain always returned and worsened with time. One month with Dr. Turner and Mr. Horton. I am now waking up with no pain for the first time in years! Facial tension, sinus/eye pressure are gone as well. Thank you both and thank God for sending me here!!!

After more than a decade of episodic migraines, mine were beginning to worsen in frequency and severity and I was quickly becoming more and more disabled each week over the course of a year. Exercise and mowing the lawn was a huge trigger, so I stopped running or doing any kind of exercise even though it was something I loved. I tried for years to manage dietary triggers (keto, HYH, gluten free, vegan) but nothing really worked. Daily preventatives, triptans, Cefaly, elimination diet, tons of supplements, etc. nothing really made a difference and I was becoming depressed that I would never find relief.I think finding Dr. Turner at Texas Migraine clinic was the answer to so many prayers, because when I read the information on his website and watched his videos on youtube it made so much sense and I felt like he had designed the treatment just for someone like me! After a month of treatment I can say that I haven't felt this good in years. Even a good day before my treatment wasn't nearly as good as I feel now. It was hard to believe that so much progress could be made in such a short amount of time (and through virtual appointments!) I'm looking forward to the next few weeks of healing and strengthening as I continue to enjoy more and more days entirely free of pain. Thank you so much Dr. Turner!

Thank you for your patience, and your personalized support. Struggling with headaches, and having three young children isn’t fun!

Thank you Dr. Turner and everyone at the Texas Migraine Clinic for helping me! I have suffered from migraine headaches since elementary school, I have lived with them about my whole life. I am 44 years old now and have finally found relief from the pain with the help of Dr. Turner. I started to notice the improvement 2 weeks into the therapy. My migraines were less severe and would not last as long. Now I have been without a migraine for about 4 weeks, the longest I have gone without one my whole life! I still cant believe that I wake up every morning with no pain or symptoms. In the past I would get migraines that lasted 2-3 days and really just felt like the pain never went away completely. I highly recommend the Texas Migraine Clinic if you are suffering from headaches and pain and just want to get your life back without the need of medications and surgery.

The unique treatment at Texas Migraine Clinic has been life changing in the most literal sense. I suffered from headaches for 20 years, and they became worse as time went on. In years past I tried acupuncture, chiropractor, deep tissue massage, yoga, Ayurveda, hormonal therapy, aimovig, anti-depressants, triptans and an assortment of strong prescription drugs. Some things worked only some of the time, and the medications only caused rebound headaches and stomach issues. It got so bad in the last few years I could no longer work or even make plans because I never knew if I was going to be able to carry through. I ended up cancelling dinners and trips, and missing my kids' events. The techniques I learned from TMC are simple and extremely effective. Within a month of beginning the therapy my headaches reduced by half. Within 2 months I was nearly headache free, and even if I did get a headache the severity was minimal and did not require medication. Within a few minutes of practicing the movements I learned, the headache goes away. At the time of writing this I am going on 3 months since I began the therapy and I am no longer taking any medications at all. Dr. Turner and the staff at the clinic are so easy to work with and supportive, and they take the time to explain everything thoroughly.

Working with the Texas Migraine Clinic has been amazing!! Their customer service and support staff are top notch and make the whole process so easy. Virtual appointments allow you access to care from anywhere. The process of working through their system towards healing is easily completed and I have had amazing results! To go from 20 or so headaches/migraine days a month to virtually free of both is life changing!! I am grateful that after years of searching out ANYTHING to keep headaches/migraines at bay I FINALLY found something that doesn't involve medication!!! Grateful isn't an adequate word but gratefulness is what I feel every day that I wake up without headaches. If you have been searching for something, give them a try. I was skeptical but was proven wrong!!!

I have had daily headaches for 23 years and migraines every few days for 23 years. My daily headaches, averaged a seven on the pain scale. About five years ago I started experiencing neck pain and shoulder pain with my headaches. I used ibuprofen and naproxen for 20 years to take the edge off and then developed an ulcer and was unable to use the pain medications. My daily headaches were debilitating with migraines every three days, I went to my primary doctor and he prescribed sumatriptan which only sometimes helped take the edge off. I have tried physical therapy as well as chiropractic, dietary changes and lifestyle changes. I stumbled across Texas migraine clinics ad on Facebook and decided to take a chance. I scheduled a consultation and had an appointment within a week. I started my sessions with Dr. Turner and then moved to Dr. Stuart. I have faithfully done my exercises every day and in the past eight weeks, I have only had one migraine! Also no more hormonal migraines and my allergies have improved. My dizziness is gone and my daily head and neck pain is down to a one or two. It occasionally gets up a little higher, but I’m able to do my exercises put some ice on it and unload and it does not turn into a migraine. My experience with Texas migraine clinic has been life-changing! I was slower to respond than the average patient but they worked with me every step of the way and I stayed faithful to the treatment. The staff is amazing! Dr. Turner and Dr. Stuart are extremely kind, helpful and informative! I cannot recommend them enough! To anyone struggling with migraines and headaches you have absolutely nothing to lose, and everything to gain by giving these guys a chance! Thank you Dr. Turner and Dr. Stuart!

This was a very worthwhile investment of my time and money. I have not had a migraine since beginning treatment which is a new record for me. I’ve suffered from the age of 6 and as someone now in my 40s it feels amazing to be more in control of my life and schedule. Highly recommend.

I'm so very grateful for finding the Texas Migraine Clinic this summer. After suffering from acute, pounding headaches, that included nausea and impeded my ability to sleep for more than an hour or so - different from the migraines or sinus headaches I've experienced in the past - Dr. Turner and his incredible staff quickly diagnosed the disc issues that were leading to the headaches and pain, and set up virtual treatments that very quickly remediated the symptoms and helped me with daily therapeutic exercises and ergonomic products to ensure that I will have a long-term recovery.I can't say enough how tremendous Dr. Turner and his team are, so kind and helpful, and it was also such a relief to have these sessions all virtually, removing any risk of exposure during this pandemic, and for me personally, any fear of manual manipulations after previous experiences with chiropractors that left me in more pain than what I started with. I'm especially thankful that I was on-boarded into the schedule so quickly for treatments, after my PCP was uninterested in offering any guidance other than for me to drink more water, leaving me suffering for weeks before finding the TX Migraine Clinic after searching online.Thank you, Dr. Turner, Annabelle, and the entire staff at Texas Migraine Clinic. Your help and insight has helped me transform my daily life to reduce stress on my discs and joints and live without pain.

Couldn't give more stars but Dr. Turner and Annabelle are really wonderful to work with. And really - who wouldn't want a life without Migraine? I have been a sufferer of these unforgiving life thieving things for over 30 years. Dr. Turner has given me my life back. His movements are easy to do and the results still have me questioning. I really wish the medical community would allow him to train them all instead of relying on medicine. Please - invest in yourself and your future and zoom-in with Dr. Turner - it will change your life!

I am so ELATED that I found Texas Migraine Clinic!!! I have suffered with migraines since I was 9 (now I am 48). Dr Turner changed my LIFE! I was VERY skeptical at first, but after a few weeks of treatment I noticed a difference. I went from 16+ migraines a month to 1 a month. I am not done with my part of the treatment (continuing my neck and back exercises until August) and I am hoping for 100% migraine free. I can't thank Dr Turner enough! I don't think he realizes he is a GOD send. Check him out!

BEST DECISION I EVER MADE!! I had suffered from migraines since I was in high school. What brought me to Dr. Turner was cluster migraines. My PCP was unwilling to give me a treatment that worked and I was done and in so much pain. I really had nothing else to loose and I made an appointment. I sincerely wish I had known about his practice sooner. It has changed my life!!! From the first appointment I had so much relief and it just got better. I have had not one migraine since. And I have tools now to help me. I tell everyone that will listen about how much it has changed my life.

It’s early days, I have been at this for just over a month. After 6 1/2 years of trying to find answers it took Dr. Turner less than 20 minutes to find a solution to my intractable pain. I had daily headaches, severe pain at the back of my skull, pain between my shoulder blades, burning and electric shock pain on the entire left side of my face, and a horrible nerve pain going down my left arm to my thumb and index finger.I started my session with a pain level of 6 or 7 out of 10 and finished the session at a 1 out of 10.Gradually, with methodical sequencing of exercises, I have managed to stay around a 1 out of 10 or less most days.The thing I love the most about Dr. Turner is that he was frank with me about what he thought was possible. And he far exceeded my expectations. I will write again once I am at the three month mark or beyond to hopefully report continued success!I am confident in the healing process that Dr. Turner and Stuart Horton prescribe and I’m really happy to have my life back!!Ingrid

I have struggled with migraines and tension headaches my whole life. I have been to countless doctors and specialists looking for answers and solutions to fix the problem. Over the last several months, my symptoms were getting worse and I was seeing every kind of doctor and specialist I could to find out why but no one had any answers or solutions for me. My husband stumbled across Dr Jeff Turner and his practice during an online search to find me the next doctor to meet and check me out, and from the very first appt with him, I was cured. For the first time in months, I no longer had a migraine. I was not sore and achey. My shoulders had no more pain. The pain in my jaw and temples was gone. Dr TurnerWas thorough and very knowledgeable. He was calm and patient and actually listened to my concerns and frustrations. He provided me with the tools for me to get better and to eventually be pain free for good. I finally felt heard and understood and I was able to let my guard down and trust him when I had completely given up on doctors and professionals. I can genuinely say that Dr Turner has completely changed my life in just a few short visits. I went from sore and tense and tired and in pain and basically useless to fully functioning, happy, energetic and involved again. I highly recommend Dr Jeff Turner with the Texas Migraine Clinic to any and all that may be struggling with headaches, tension or nerve pain.

I went through the steps/appts to learn how to lessen or eliminate my migraines. Learned the exercises and movements one can do to help. I’m not headache free yet, but I am having less every week. I don’t know how or why the movements/exercises seem to be working, but they are. Do I still have bad days, yes, but going from every day to 1-2 a week is a huge blessing to me. I encourage anyone who suffers from migraines as I have since my 20’s, I’m 51 now, to give Texas Migraine a try. The Dr’s and staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and really care.

I’m so glad I was able to find Dr. Turner through millions of searches on google. I had the pleasure of meeting him in May and he told me straight up that I needed to do exactly what he said if I wanted to heal within the timeframe that he mentioned. I’m a little hard headed so sometimes I would run/exercise when he told me not to and it hindered my healing process but once I got more strict with myself and actually listened to all his directions I was seeing results the way he said I would. Before I met Dr. Turner I went to a headache doctor who kept telling me that I needed surgery but once I found Dr. Turner he reassured me that I would never need surgery and his treatment was 100% natural (no medications, no injections, no surgery)! I’m so grateful for Dr. Turner and his staff!

Dr. Turner was very easy to work with. I had some pressure relief after just one virtual visit! I never knew so much of my migraine issues were intertwined with other things, like “allergies.” I am off all of my allergy meds after just 2 weeks, an unexpected perk. I am done with my visits with him but still have work to continue til I’m healed, so will report back again more specifically about migraine relief.

When I started with Dr. Turner I could barely tilt my head up. I had alot of pain and grinding and popping in my neck along with my migraines. In a short amount of time I have resolved most all of my neck pain and regained a high degree of my neck mobility. I have seen a significant improvement in my related headaches and head pain.

I was so tired of multiple healthcare providers offering me temporary solutions for my debilitating migraines without ever getting to the root cause of why I was having them. The chiropractor was actually making it worse, the medications had terrible side effects, and everything was an ongoing cost and hassle. The constant pain, nausea, fatigue and other symptoms were ruining my life. Even after a neurologist diagnosed my bulging cervical disc, they only suggested ongoing Botox injections and medications to numb the pain. I knew there had to be a better solution.Dr. Turner offers a rehab program that actually guides you on how to fix your disc for lasting relief and the knowledge of what to do if you have an issue in the future. It only took a week to start seeing progress and at a few weeks out my migraines continue to reduce in frequency and severity as my disc continues to heal. The approach is common sense and rooted in science. As an epidemiologist, these factors are important to me. The cost was reasonable, especially compared to other migraine programs I found who promised to find the cause by doing things I had already done (like looking at food triggers, etc).I took a chance on Dr. Turner because he was one of the only doctors who could actually explain what was causing my pain and how he could not only fix it, but give me the tools to do so even after our sessions were over. There were also product recommendations for ergonomic tools to help keep my neck in better alignment. He knows his stuff and I am very glad I found him and trusted him with my care. His staff is also friendly and helpful, and overall it was a great experience from start to finish. The remote appointments were a safe option during the pandemic and convenient with my work schedule. I’m recommending him to all my friends and family who suffer with headaches and/or neck pain. His free consultations are a risk free way to see if he would be a good fit for your particular symptoms, even if you haven’t had a MRI or other imaging. He is truly a fantastic PT and a genuinely nice person. Highly recommend!

It's been over 12 years since I started getting migraines and I've had them almost every day. I started Dr Turners program as a skeptic because through the years every treatment that I've tried has failed, so it's easier being a skeptic then it is getting disappointed if it doesn't work. But, the difference with this program is that Dr Turner is trying to fix the source of the problem instead of treating the symptoms. Since I started the treatments I've been able to reduce every migraine to where I barely feel it within a few minutes with the neck exercises he showed me, and the symptoms including the nonstop nausea I had before are barely noticeable now. Those are almost unbelievable results in my mind, and I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. I am very hopeful now and I have to give my head and neck time to heal so I will check back in a few months to tell you how it's going. Everybody I talked to at the clinic is so kind and friendly, including Dr Turner, Stuart Horton, Annabelle, Maria, and others. I highly recommend The Texas Migraine Clinic and I thank them for everything their doing for me.

Dr Jeff has been a lifesaver 2 times for me! Cervical bulging disc and pinched nerve left me in unbearable pain. Immediate relief after first session followed by easy at home exercises to follow while healing. Would give 10 stars if I could!

I have suffered with cluster head aches for the past 25 plus years it took several years to figure out what they were. Going to doctors for sinus pain, tooth pain and eye pain not knowing where the pain was coming from was terrible .I tried pain meds, Chiropractors , deep tissue massage and went to neurologists.My go to was high flow oxygen, ice packs and sumatriptan.Then my wife was searching the net for any new treatment and found Dr Turner.What a god send! After the initial consultation I had 5 zoom visits with him and he gave me the technics to stop the pain and reverse the symptom and am now well on my way to a permanent recovery.I have nothing but gratitude and thanks for him and his great team.

I started treatment with Dr. Turner And Mr. Horton back in October 2021. I suffered from headaches every day and migraines with increasing frequency averaging 3-4 days a week. I always had a hormonal headache for the week before my period. I also had TMJ pain and clicking, ear fullness, lightheadedness and sinus pain and pressure almost daily. These ailments were impacted my ability to work and perform even daily activities so I had upcoming appointments with both an ENT and neurology scheduled when I stumbled across Texas Migraine Institute. I started sessions right away all through Zoom. Within weeks I was amazed at how much better ALL of my symptoms were. Dr. Turner and his office staff are professional and very pleasant to interact with. Mr. Horton performed my sessions while Dr. Turner did the initial evaluation and follow up. They all seem to really care and want to resolve all if your issues. I rarely get headaches maybe one day before my period and I haven't had a migraine in over 3 months. Needles to say I canceled my other appointments and have been able to decrease my allergy and sinus medicine. Highly recommend to ANYONE who suffers from migraines well worth the expense and so easy to complete the sessions from anywhere. The home exercises take only A few minutes a day and can be done anywhere with no equipment. Texas migraine institute changed my life!

After many years of painful debilitating headaches, brain scans, CT scans, MRI’s and more, I searched for help and found Dr Turner. I was very skeptical at first but wow, I cannot believe the results. I haven’t felt this good in 9-10 years.

Dr. Turner was great to work with and helped me work through very challenging headaches that originated from my neck. My tight muscles that surrounded the neck/upper back are doing much better. Thank you!!

I have to admit I was skeptical initially. I've had migraines since I was a teenager and the only treatment option I've had is medication. But with Dr. Turner's method, my migraines have almost disappeared! Its amazing and life changing relief. I wish I had know this clinic sooner, I wouldn't have suffered for so long.

Dr. Turner has helped tremendously in alleviating my symptoms. I began to notice an improvement immediately from the first assessment. I have only be doing the program for about 6 weeks, but have noticed a big difference. I look forward to continuing my exercises and making more progress.

I was initially a bit skeptical of this process as it really is not in my nature to reach out to a doctor in another state via zoom calls; however, I was tired of the constant migraines I was getting and was getting desperate to try anything that might help. I’m so glad that I did! On our first evaluation call (which was free so everyone should at least give the evaluation call a chance), Dr. Turner explained the physiology of what was causing my symptoms in a way that no one else ever had and it made complete sense. Each session for me was roughly a 30 min zoom call where we would talk about the symptoms I was experiencing and he would give me exercises to do to help. After only 4 sessions (and actually doing all of the exercises he recommended between each session), I could tell a huge difference. I had a situation at work that 100% would’ve caused a migraine in the past and I could feel the initial symptoms start, but the migraine never actually came. It was such an incredible feeling to realize that after experiencing migraines for nearly half my life, I may not have to any more!To summarize: I would highly recommend Dr. Turner and the Texas Migraine Clinic to anyone who is tired of dealing with migraines and the terrible impact they have on your life. The cost was very reasonable, particularly considering the long term migraine relief that I should experience. Dr. Turner is clearly very knowledgeable on the topic and everyone I interacted with was friendly and professional. I would definitely give them 5 stars!

I have suffered from migraines, back, neck pain, and hands going numb all my adult life. You name it I've tried it and until now nothing has worked like this. I can't say enough good things. If you are suffering what do you have to lose but another day of pain.

Dr. Turner was able to help me completely eliminate my daily after-work headaches through his treatment. I was having severe headaches every night that felt like sinus pressure in the cheeks, eyes, forehead, but also in the back of my head. I thought it was severe allergies causing the pain, and was taking decongestants and ibuprofen daily. Reading other reviews made me think that Dr. Turner could help this "sinus pressure" pain even though I wasn't having migraines. It worked and I have no more headaches! I wish more people knew about this type of treatment before seeing other specialists because it provides lasting relief for many problems without surgeries or medications!

The review I am writing is nearly a year after treatment; I wanted to wait at least 6 months to give a review.Cliftnotes: God has given him a true gift in helping us and I would recommend him to anyone.I originally went to Dr. Turner after I was in the hospital with an ocular migraine for two or three days. I was very scared of the situation and I really wanted some thing that word permanently fix it and ensure that it didn’t happen again. After a ton of research I came across Dr. Turner and wanted to give it a shot; I spoke to Dr. Turner via zoom to vet him before giving him any money which was nice and decided to do the treatment plan. At this time in my life I didn’t have a ton of money so I was a little worried about the cost but it didn’t cost as much as I feared and the results that I have now are more than worth it.Throughout the sessions he teaches you ways to fix the root cause of the issue. After following his teaching via zoom which was really nice especially during the pandemic and in general not having to go and wait at the doctors office for an appointment; I saw really good results. However I did wait for nearly a year before posting a review on Dr. Turner because I wanted to know for sure that if I recommended this it would be because it truly helped.I believe that since treatment I have had four or five, roughly, ocular migraines but this is a big but they lasted maybe a few minutes; once I saw them coming on I did certain exercises and relieved pressure on certain disks in my neck the way he taught me and in most cases the migraine stopped before it even got bad. I remember one time I was sitting on the couch looking at my phone with my neck in a not so great position and I saw an ocular migraine begin to start but once I saw that I corrected my neck position and did an exercise that he gave me and it went away within five minutes and that was about two months after treatment and since then I have been feeling really good and would highly recommend him for these migraine issues that some people unfortunately have.He truly wants to help and wants to learn about what you are going through and how he can make sure it is fixed. I am actually thinking about maybe taking one or two sessions a year just to brush up on ensuring that I am taking care of my neck properly not that it’s necessary to do that but I enjoyed his knowledge and his advice on how to treat my body the way it needs to be to prevent these issues in the future.

I came to Dr Turner very very skeptical that this would work for me. Honestly I thought it was a scam. I have suffered from a rare type of migraine called vestibular migraine which is charecterized by dizziness and not head pain. Vestibular migraine has been so debilitating to me that I have gone periods where I was unable to walk. I had to stop working, driving, cooking, cleaning, leaving the house... I had zero quality of life for nearly 2 years. BUT now after a few months of working with Dr Turner and Dr Horton I have gotten a huge part of my life back. I can now do things I haven't done in many years with confidence. Dr turner really addressed the very strange symptoms I had going on. He is a mechanical genius. His program is very simple but powerfully effective. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. This is not an inexpensive service but I would have given them everything I have knowing I could get my life back.

When I first began, I would have scary confusing grey static ocular migraines. After 6 sessions with Dr. Turner, my symptoms are mostly gone. I understand that it’s an on-going process, though. I feel much better than before. I can get to sleep without as crazy migraines. It’s like night and day for me. Thank you, Dr. Turner. Five stars. ☺️

I highly recommend Dr. Turner. I have suffered from migraines for over 20 years and after my first session I was able to get off my preventive migraine medicine and have not taken any other medications for headaches. I have not had one single migraine since my first session. I wish I would have know about him 20 years ago. He is the best!

Dr. Turner is amazing to work with. He is not only friendly, but he knows what he is talking about! I have suffered from chronic migraines since I was 16. Having daily/ weekly migraines that really put a damper on my quality of life. Dr. Turner's program has decreased my migraines significantly, AND decreased my overall neck and back pain. His program works!

This program has been life changing for me. I have been dealing with this for over a year and seen countless drs with little improvement. I came to Dr Turner with migraines daily, dizziness, head pressure, neck pain and other symptoms. After completing only 6 weeks my symptoms greatly improved. I’m still doing the maintenance phase and look forward to even better improvements. Dr Turner was amazing to work with, his bedside manner is wonderful and he is very knowledgeable. I highly recommend!

I was struggling with intense neck pain which led to headaches for a few years. I had tried multiple different approaches to find the issue and fix it. Nothing seemed to really help, everything I tried was more of a temporary fix. I found Texas Migraine Clinic online and was very easy to communicate. They were a big help as they went right to the source to fix the problem. Dr. Turner is very knowledgeable and the staff is very friendly. Great service overall and great results in the end.

I’ve had episodic cluster headaches for 25 years. I’ve seen neurologists, chiropractors, massage therapist and acupuncturist - with little to no relief. I was going through a cluster cycle and came across Dr. Turner’s practice. If you suffer from cluster headaches and want relief, you must contact Dr. Turner! He does a great job of explaining the cause and the symptoms. The techniques are easy to follow and very doable! I too was apprehensive about the zoom visits, but it works! He is personable and his office staff is awesome too!

Dr. Turner truly cares about his patients! I have a complex neck issue which has caused me problems for years. While I required a little extra attention Dr. Turner was attentive at each appointment. About 2 and a half months after my last appointment I started having trouble again. A follow up and Dr. Turner was able to tell I had been aggravating one portion of my neck with my form and now I'm back on the path to healing. I would highly suggest Dr. Turner to anyone who suffers from headaches.-Kristin M

Both Dr. Turner and Dr Horton are very knowledgeable, compassionate, and skillful in figuring out where migraine pain is coming from and how to slowly diminish the symptoms. I have just finished my 6 week one-on-one virtual treatments (I was skeptical at first that this could work virtually) and am feeling relief like never before. I'm hoping the healing and diminishing symptoms continue. So far I am really impressed and encouraged.

Dr. Turner is a gifted healer. After suffering with a rare migraine disorder for years, I went to extremes to find relief. I came across Dr. Turner's YouTube videos and figured it was worth a shot, especially because the consultation was free over Zoom. When I had my appointment, Dr. Turner knew where my pain was and what positions made it worse or better after just a few questions. I was blown away. I started treatment and he was always kind, knowledgeable, and I felt like I could really trust him. Since completing treatment, I've only had three occurrences of migraine, each of them 85% less intensive than my normal debilitating episodes. None of them lasted nearly as long as they had before. Going from 2- 10 day episodes occurring at least three times a month to infrequent episodes lasting a day at most is certainly worth the time and money. Dr. Turner himself is incredibly pleasant and down to earth; his demeanor is calm and reassuring. I definitely recommend him and his services and am so grateful for the healing I've experienced here.

I first met Dr. Turner at the end of June and I have been thanking God ever since. I had been experiencing dizziness, loss of balance, headaches, pressure on my sinuses and ears, tightness in neck and shoulders, brain fog, a disconnected feeling, and fatigue on and off for over 12 years without much help from my doctors. In little more than a week I started feeling my symptoms starting to subside exactly how he said they would. It’s been a little over a month since starting the treatments and I've been able to start living life again. While I still have healing to do I feel better than I have in along time. He was also able to help a lower back issue I've had for years. I feel like for the first time in over a decade I am on the road to healing and not just treating symptoms. Dr. Turner and all his staff are very friendly and professional. They followed up quickly on my online request for an assessment and I was able to start treatment within days. They responded quickly to my texts and emails. Dr. Turner has an excellent Zoom-side (bedside) manner. He was concerned, easy to talk to, listened to me and explained everything in terms I could understand. I also appreciated Dr. Turner’s honesty. I have a shoulder issue I was hoping he could help me with and he was very upfront with the fact he hasn’t had any success treating that kind of problem. If you are a good candidate for his treatment I highly recommend you get started right away and do what he says, how he says, and when he says.

Dr. T is amazing. He helped not only myself with my migraines, but my husband with his back pain. My migraines were so bad I was in 10 out of 10 pain more n more frequently daily & going to urgent care etc. I was better within weeks! Then I took a hard forward fall and ended up with migraines again a year and half later. I contacted Dr T. once again (in April 2021) in severe pain and again he helped figure out where my pain is coming from and what I need to do to get better. Here I am in June now instead of having a migraine almost every single day I haven't had one in weeks.He is patient and listens unlike most doctors. It was a safe, effective, natural CURE not a masking of the pain, which is really important to me. Now my kids aren't constantly asking me "Mommy, your head hurts?" and I can enjoy my time with them. I'm so grateful for the service I got with Dr Turner @ the migraine clinic! Oh and don't let me forget Annabelle who handles his payments, appointments, etc. She's soooo sweet and kind!

Dr. Turner gave me a whole new outlook on my perspective to treating and healing my neck as well as my body. aside of what I once thought I was doing right I am very thankful I gave his theory as chance and am so grateful i had the oppurtunity to work with him. I saw results to his treatment within 24 hours. I highly recommend his treatment. His approach is very effective and really convenient doing all my appointments via zoom. no driving, no medication, no surgery. Go See Dr Turner!!!

Having suffered from migraines most of my adult life and knowing I needed “something else” I was curious & skeptical when I found this clinic via social media.However after meeting with Dr. Turner via Zoom I was encouraged right away, as he managed to alleviate my neck pressure & pain in that consult. It only took 2 weeks to get consistent relief & I do my exercises daily & am looking forward to a migraine free future!

I thought about the best word that would describe my experience, that word is "unbelievable". Is been more than 20 years since I'm sufferings of migraines or headaches. In the last few years things got worse, I've tried naturopath, chiropractic, message therapies and nothing worked, every time I had a migraine I had to go back to triptans. Life was very stressful and keeping up with family and work was getting more and more challenging. I came across a posting on social media about Dr. Turner's treatment and I've decided to give it a try...one more time and one more thing to help with my migraines. I'm incredibly happy that I did it! This treatment is not helping managing migraines, this treatment is actually a real cure for migraines. I'm from Nova Scotia, Canada and the treatment happened over Zoom Video calls, very convenient! Is been 35 days since I've stared seeing Dr. Turner and I had only one day of migraine ( at the beginning of the treatment), this is just unbelievable, I feel like a different person, I can actually make plans and enjoy life! Thank you Dr. Turner! Also, thank you to Annabelle and Maria for making the experience so easy!

I’ve had migraines for several years now and hadn’t found any lasting relief. When I first started seeing Dr Turner I was having them daily, it was awful. After 8 weeks I’m so thankful to say that I’m doing much better! Haven’t had a migraine in weeks! The program worked great for me, even with having all appointments remotely. I’ve still got some healing to do, but I’m thrilled to be feeling so much better!

I have suffered with chronic migraine (about half of all days) for 20 years or so. I thought I had tried everything....until I stumbled upon Dr. Turner and the Texas Migraine Clinic on the internet. I watched his videos on YouTube and read everything on his website, and felt like he was the first doctor ever to perfectly describe so many of my weird symptoms. It seemed like he understood the mechanism behind everything from cheek pain (previously diagnosed as trigeminal neuralgia) to neck pain to hand weakness on my frequent migraine days. For some years I believed my migraines were originating in my neck, but this is the first time I had a healthcare professional listen and even agree! Appointments with Dr. Turner were well-orchestrated by his friendly staff, who also sent me additional helpful information. I am now six weeks into the program of exercises which take only a few minutes to complete twice a day. I also was given special instructions concerning sleep, as I typically wake up with migraines. Although the frequency of my migraines has not been reduced yet, the severity has been, and I no longer have the same degree of neck and back pain that I had been experiencing with my migraines. I am hopeful that continuing the exercises and other personalized instructions will eliminate or greatly reduce my head and face pain as well. I really respect that Dr. Turner worked with me via Zoom a few times, but then "let me go" with the information and instructions he had given me. He isn't just stringing patients along for the money, which I deeply respect. Of course, he made it clear that I can schedule a follow-up any time I feel I need more help, which I also greatly appreciate.

I have been suffering from headaches/migraines for at least 50 years and started taking preventative medication 30 years ago. Like the majority of people, medication helps, but migraines still prevail no matter what. The new CGRP inhibitors are great for some people, but the side effects steered me to Dr Turner’s office. His therapy makes sense and it works! My posture has improved and that is a big plus since I am a dental hygienist. Dr Turner and his office are sincere, kind and happy to work with any schedule. I’m impressed how both the doctor, yes, the doctor, and staff keep in touch with you to monitor your symptoms. My migraines have decreased to 1-2 slight headaches that usually go away with OTC medication or a cup of coffee when I work. Mind you, I’m still in treatment and have no more jaw pain and I do clench my teeth. If you are tired of taking medication and getting no where like majority of us, please schedule a consultation. It will change your life for the best!

Dr. Turner is a lifesaver! I have suffered with migraines for more than 25 years and have seen countless doctors and have tried every medication. Nothing worked. I decided 2 years ago to not take any medication at all and change to a holistic and organic lifestyle. Although I felt heathier in every aspect, I still had migraines and still could not exercise without triggering a migraine. I saw Dr. Turners YouTube video one day when I was desperately searching for relief. I decided to give it a try. It was a quick process to get started and staff was great and accommodating. I did everything Dr. Turner suggested. I saw immediate results in many symptoms. I'm happy to say that now after several months I have 90%fewer symptoms and when I do have a headache it hasn't progressed into a migraine. My therapy daily exercises will continue until May and I am confident that I'll keep progressing to 100% relief. If you have tried everything, you have nothing to lose. TRY IT! Get your life back!

Wow!I have been searching for years for someone to help me with my chronic pain and I have finally found them here! I have suffered for over 30 years with migraines and thought I would never get relief from anything except prescription medications.Through the course of my treatments, Dr. Jeff and Stuart have worked with me on my constant neck pain and chronic migraines. My customized program was easy and results came quickly. I have more energy, sleep better, have way less pain, better range of motion, and I don't need to rely on prescription medications as much for relief. I am so grateful to them. If you are suffering from chronic migraine pain, then this could be your solution as well.

Seriously it's sorcery!! I've had a lumbar puncture, MRI, meds that made my hair fall out etc etc to treat vestibular migraines with absolutely no help!!

It's literally given me my life back!

My experience with Dr. Turner and The Texas Migraine Clinic has been amazing. In a short time my migraine pain has gone from an 8-10 to a 1-3. Dr. Turner is a very compassionate, patient and understanding practitioner. I was at first skeptical about virtual appointments, and solutions that didn't involve meds, but all of Dr. Turner's exercises and small lifestyle changes have made a huge difference in my pain levels and in my energy! I am very thankful to Dr. Turner and The Texas Migraine Clinic!

I am extremely grateful I saw the Texas Migraine Clinic on Facebook. At first I was hesitant because of all the scams you see preying on those desperate for help with serious issues, such as migraines. My views on migraines really aligned with Dr. Turner and Mr. Horton’s. I didn’t want to receive Botox treatments for the rest of my life, or take medication for relief until the day I die. I am so incredibly happy with the results of my appointments. I cannot thank these two enough for changing my life. This not only affects me, but my family as well. I can finally be present. I am no longer worried about what excedrin is doing to my liver, and I can relax knowing my migraine won’t sneak up when we go on a day out. Thank you so much.

Our Approach vs Medications
Medications like triptans have long been a standard in migraine & headache treatments. However, in our experience, medications don't last. This leaves patients in a "never ending cycle" of constantly needing to take the medications again and repeat their visits to doctors' offices.
In contrast, our mission is to make our patients so pain-free, that they don't need medications once the symptoms resolve. This is something we repeatedly accomplish in our Advanced Treatment & Program.
Our Approach vs Injections
Both the usual injections as well as the newer CGRP injections are often "stacked" on top of medications to get patients relief. However, when patients need more than this, they often see us because they're still not getting the effective relief they were looking for while on both medications + injections.
In contrast, our approach is made to resolve these issues at their source, so that the symptoms & pain no longer occur. This means our patients can gradually "taper off" of their medications and injections gradually over a few weeks, until they don't need them anymore.
Our Approach vs Surgery
Surgery is not only expensive, but comes with some risks. Surgery often alters the anatomy of the nerves & spine, and often requires many years of follow-ups post-surgery. Furthermore, surgery, in our experience, often isn't an end-all solution due to the number of patients we receive who've had surgeries yet still have migraine, headache, and related symptoms. Also, because surgery alters the fundamental anatomy of the nerves & spine, a natural solution, in some cases, may become less effective post-surgery.
In contrast, there is no surgery or chemicals involved in what we do. All sessions occur online through our highly specialized remote Program, which resolves even intensive migraine, headache, and related symptom problems.
Our Approach vs Other Treatments / Therapies
This Treatment is drastically different than other treatments & therapies. The Advanced Treatment doesn't seek to just get patients relief. Instead, it's primary focus is on solving patients' migraines, headaches, and related symptoms from where they actually first begin & start- so the symptoms can then stay gone. When this happens, we've found there's no real need to numb the pain with medications and injections or to avoid triggers.*
This makes our approach fundamentally different than other options, as our Advanced Treatment seeks to resolve the true source of the symptoms- instead of simply "numb" the symptoms temporarily, which, in our perspective, isn't a true solution.

Ophthalmoplegic Migraine
Symptoms We Treat:
Note: Symptoms we treat often include other complications in addition to those mentioned below, and in some cases, not all symptoms are always present.
The ophthalmoplegic migraine has been reclassified more as neuralgia (nerve pain). That said, it commonly causes eye pain and/or pressure, as well as eye muscle incoordination as well as associated visual disturbances. Some even have an eyelid (or both eyelids) close for periods of time, which can be quite alarming.
It's certainly worth an evaluation with this meticulous System to determine if we can help you. Our experience has shown that we can often reverse these problems by addressing multiple nerve systems that converge in the brainstem. We do this by naturally calming down the excessive firing of brainstem nerves cascading up from nerves in the neck.
Retinal Migraine
Symptoms We Treat:
Note: Symptoms we treat often include other complications in addition to those listed below, and in some cases, not all symptoms (listed below) are always present.
• Vision loss or partial vision loss (Occurs most often in 1 eye) • Scotomas or “black spots” in visual field • Scintillations or light spots in visual field
Silent Migraine / Acephalgic Migraine
Symptoms We Treat:
Note: Symptoms we treat often include other complications in addition to those mentioned below, and in some cases, not all symptoms are always present.
You may be familiar with auras, which many experience before the onset of a migraine. Auras can include all different types of manifestations- not just visual (which is very common). Visual auras routinely include brief bouts of seeing curved or squiggly lines, vision loss, light sensitivity, or blurry vision. Auras that don't fit the visual category can consist of such things as dizziness, numbness, tingling, weakness, confusion, difficulty speaking, and in some instances, even vomiting.
That said, silent migraines generally last only a few minutes, up to an hour- but without an associated headache.
We have found that brainstem hyper-activation from irritated nerves in the neck sets these auras off. By reversing the neck nerve irritation, brainstem hyperactivity routinely calms down quickly- and predictably. That has been our approach to rapidly reversing & consistently abolishing this seemingly cryptic problem.
Migraine with Brainstem Aura
Symptoms We Treat:
Note: Symptoms we treat often include other complications in addition to those mentioned below, and in some cases, not all symptoms are always present.
Brainstem aura symptoms can be really frightening, as the aura manifestation can appear to be a really serious problem. Symptoms may act very similar to very serious disorders such as epilepsy, stroke, or transient ischemic attack. However, research points to elevated brainstem activity as the epicenter of the problem.
We have found that brainstem hyper-activation from irritated nerves in the neck sets these auras off, with rare exceptions. By reversing the neck nerve irritation, brainstem hyperactivity routinely calms down quickly and predictably. That has been our approach to rapidly reversing and consistently abolishing these seemingly very cryptic problems.
Rebound Headache
Symptoms We Treat:
Note: Symptoms we treat often include other complications in addition to those mentioned below, and in some cases, not all symptoms are always present.
Many headache and migraine sufferers unwittingly sabotage themselves, worsening pain and symptom problems by the way that they take medications. These medications may be over-the-counter pain relievers, or even by prescription. Some react negatively to taking a medication too often- for, say, three or more days per week. Most people do this in a cycle, medicating themselves too much for their physiology to handle. The "rebound" medication pattern is routinely a natural reaction when a pain reliever is wearing off. An increase in pain can prompt more medication use to continue symptom control. Therein lies the problem with rebound headaches. There can be a "boomerang effect" with this pattern of medication over-use. For instance, in this scenario, you may experience the onset of chronic, daily headaches, which may be even more severe than usual. The realization of this negative effect exposes that the "fix" is worse than the underlying problem itself! Basically, you'd be "rebounding" to a more intense and/or more frequent headache or migraine problem with what the body determines is an excessive frequency in medication use.
This Treatment is designed to abolish the underlying headache & migraine issues by calming down brainstem activation. Our consistent experience is that irritated nerves in the neck are responsible for underlying brainstem nerve up-regulation (irritability).
Of course, breaking the medication-overuse rebound headaches by tapering and/or stopping the problem medication(s) is warranted. However, it would make sense to address the underlying cause of the nerve irritation problems that produce the headaches and migraines in the first place. That's likely the best strategy to successfully accomplish tapering off problematic medications & leaving them behind.

• Extremely severe pains including:
◦ Spontaneous, sharp, shooting and jabbing pains in the face ◦ Electrical shock-type pains in the head and face
• Pain and often tingling in the cheek, teeth, jaw, lips, and gums (sometimes forehead & eyes as well) • Throbbing, burning, or aching pain at the base of the skull (where the upper neck meets the skull)
(a) pain often moves up the back of the head and into the sides of the head (b) intense to very intense pain - may be mistaken for a cluster headache
• A radiating pain pattern (usually sharp or electric shock-type pain) which moves from the base of the skull into the eyes, nose, and sinuses • Tightness in the upper shoulders & shoulder blades • Limited motion when turning the head towards the side of pain • Symptoms get worse as the day goes on (usually around the early afternoon) • Sensitivity to light • Sensitivity to sound • Nausea • Constant burning pain which may lead to feeling "sore" near the base of the skull • Extremely sensitive scalp region which is easily triggered by even the smallest thing • Extremely sensitive face region which may trigger symptoms just by touching the face (especially near the mouth) • Pain behind the eye (sometimes only one-sided eye pain)

• Continuous headache pain that doesn't stop • Generally, always on the same side of the head and face (Note: A small percentage experience pain on both sides of their head and face) • Pain is moderate to severe in intensity • Symptoms usually always present every single day for at least 3 months • Sensitivity to light • Sensitivity to sound • Nausea / vomiting • Sinus pressure / nose stuffiness
Ophthalmoplegic Migraine
Symptoms We Treat:
Note: Symptoms we treat often include other complications in addition to those mentioned below, and in some cases, not all symptoms are always present.
The ophthalmoplegic migraine has been reclassified more as neuralgia (nerve pain). That said, it commonly causes eye pain and/or pressure, as well as eye muscle incoordination as well as associated visual disturbances. Some even have an eyelid (or both eyelids) close for periods of time, which can be quite alarming.
It's certainly worth an evaluation with this meticulous System to determine if we can help you. Our experience has shown that we can often reverse these problems by addressing multiple nerve systems that converge in the brainstem. We do this by naturally calming down the excessive firing of brainstem nerves cascading up from nerves in the neck.
Retinal Migraine
Symptoms We Treat:
Note: Symptoms we treat often include other complications in addition to those listed below, and in some cases, not all symptoms (listed below) are always present.
• Vision loss or partial vision loss (Occurs most often in 1 eye) • Scotomas or “black spots” in visual field • Scintillations or light spots in visual field
Silent Migraine / Acephalgic Migraine
Symptoms We Treat:
Note: Symptoms we treat often include other complications in addition to those mentioned below, and in some cases, not all symptoms are always present.
You may be familiar with auras, which many experience before the onset of a migraine. Auras can include all different types of manifestations- not just visual (which is very common). Visual auras routinely include brief bouts of seeing curved or squiggly lines, vision loss, light sensitivity, or blurry vision. Auras that don't fit the visual category can consist of such things as dizziness, numbness, tingling, weakness, confusion, difficulty speaking, and in some instances, even vomiting.
That said, silent migraines generally last only a few minutes, up to an hour- but without an associated headache.
We have found that brainstem hyper-activation from irritated nerves in the neck sets these auras off. By reversing the neck nerve irritation, brainstem hyperactivity routinely calms down quickly- and predictably. That has been our approach to rapidly reversing & consistently abolishing this seemingly cryptic problem.
Migraine with Brainstem Aura
Symptoms We Treat:
Note: Symptoms we treat often include other complications in addition to those mentioned below, and in some cases, not all symptoms are always present.
Brainstem aura symptoms can be really frightening, as the aura manifestation can appear to be a really serious problem. Symptoms may act very similar to very serious disorders such as epilepsy, stroke, or transient ischemic attack. However, research points to elevated brainstem activity as the epicenter of the problem.
We have found that brainstem hyper-activation from irritated nerves in the neck sets these auras off, with rare exceptions. By reversing the neck nerve irritation, brainstem hyperactivity routinely calms down quickly and predictably. That has been our approach to rapidly reversing and consistently abolishing these seemingly very cryptic problems.
Rebound Headache
Symptoms We Treat:
Note: Symptoms we treat often include other complications in addition to those mentioned below, and in some cases, not all symptoms are always present.
Many headache and migraine sufferers unwittingly sabotage themselves, worsening pain and symptom problems by the way that they take medications. These medications may be over-the-counter pain relievers, or even by prescription. Some react negatively to taking a medication too often- for, say, three or more days per week. Most people do this in a cycle, medicating themselves too much for their physiology to handle. The "rebound" medication pattern is routinely a natural reaction when a pain reliever is wearing off. An increase in pain can prompt more medication use to continue symptom control. Therein lies the problem with rebound headaches. There can be a "boomerang effect" with this pattern of medication over-use. For instance, in this scenario, you may experience the onset of chronic, daily headaches, which may be even more severe than usual. The realization of this negative effect exposes that the "fix" is worse than the underlying problem itself! Basically, you'd be "rebounding" to a more intense and/or more frequent headache or migraine problem with what the body determines is an excessive frequency in medication use.
This Treatment is designed to abolish the underlying headache & migraine issues by calming down brainstem activation. Our consistent experience is that irritated nerves in the neck are responsible for underlying brainstem nerve up-regulation (irritability).
Of course, breaking the medication-overuse rebound headaches by tapering and/or stopping the problem medication(s) is warranted. However, it would make sense to address the underlying cause of the nerve irritation problems that produce the headaches and migraines in the first place. That's likely the best strategy to successfully accomplish tapering off problematic medications & leaving them behind.

We’ve learned over the last 17 years that lasting relief is a direct science, and its progress can be tracked in a predictable and calculable manner.*
We also know that lasting relief has nothing to do with that new diet plan in that book, that supplement regimen, or that new injection – because the pain will always come back if that diet is broken, the supplement dose is skipped, or the injection wears off. This leaves you feeling trapped in a life of constantly avoiding headache and migraine triggers.
Furthermore, we’ve found lasting relief has nothing to do with vague questions we hear from most neurologists and doctors. We don’t ask those kind of vague questions because we have to know the exact and quantifiable data of our patients so we can develop custom treatment algorithms according to their exact conditions and real-time symptom response.
So there’s a very real dilemma here: headache and migraine sufferers need to waste their valuable time and financial resources over and over again on those same injections, medications, and other therapies and treatments because they cannot attain permanent relief.*
And that’s sadly what much of the internet teaches currently – that temporary relief is the best case scenario.
For 17 years, we’ve been perfecting the science of lasting relief using a highly detailed algorithmic treatment.
The result?
More than 4,200 patients have already stopped medications, injections, dietary interventions, and other treatments – most of them for years.*
In our direct experience over many thousands of patients, the results of our Advanced Treatment are unequaled by any other therapy or treatment we’ve ever seen even for the most severe and difficult conditions.*

More Information about the Advanced Treatment:
Life with lasting headache and migraine relief is so much better without the head pain, eye pain, nausea, and dizziness. The effectiveness of the Advanced Treatment at Texas Migraine Clinic is much superior to what we originally intended!
We all know that there are many misconceptions as to what causes migraine and headache pain. We also know that research is now pointing to inflamed nerves in the neck as the leading cause of headaches and migraines, but headache and migraine sufferers are currently still going after mainstream migraine treatments and other alternative migraine therapies that, in our experience, offer very unimpressive results.
What if we told you that the Advanced Treatment works for the common migraine, chronic migraines, cluster headaches, hemiplegic migraines, trigeminal neuralgia, and nearly every type of migraine? Because now, Texas Migraine Clinic has already evaluated and treated more than 4,200 patients.
Our stats indicate that 92% of patients discover the source of their headaches and migraines during their initial evaluation, through instant symptom improvement. Then, if adherent to this System of treatment, on average, they experience 75% of headaches/migraines at 4 weeks and 93% relief at 6 weeks. The good news is: the results are routinely lasting!
Common sense says that it is much more effective to take away the cause of migraines and headaches than it is to take pain symptoms away without fixing the cause. After all, we have found that nearly all head pain, nausea, eye pain, and dizziness go away when we resolve what causes the migraine & headache pain in the first place.
Many of our thousands of patients report being migraine-free months or years after treatment! As a migraine headache evaluation and treatment facility, we have no patience for migraine treatment methods that just are not working effectively or fast enough.
We are ready to show you what has already been a dependable, lasting migraine solution that has worked for thousands of patients.
Take advantage of our Texas Migraine Clinic program - since our patients frequently achieve 92% migraine relief which lasts months, and, in many cases, years in patients adherent to our system of treatment. Also, in the end, it ends up costing much less than most other migraine therapies, since, according to our results, our treatment usually lasts many years.
Inside the Texas Migraine Clinic program, patients get exclusive 1-on-1 training sessions with a qualified migraine specialist who will administer the Texas Migraine Clinic System. This specialist will do his very best to deliver the same treatment we have already used to treat 4,200+ migraine and headache cases.
The fact is, there has never been a better time to get into this program. We believe this is the future of migraine and headache therapy. Once the world wakes up to the effectiveness of this cutting-edge approach, our availability will be much more limited.
Most people experience ongoing migraine or headache pain when they try to rely on many of the approaches floating around the internet- including mainstream, approved therapies from qualified doctors.
In fact, many of our successful patients only experienced only a mere 20% relief of pain after spending many thousands on many of the mainstream, traditional therapies out there. These therapies include triptans, injectables, the newer CGRP injectables, acupuncture, Chiropractic, electrical stimulation devices, and biofeedback training. But 20% rings unimpressive when it comes to real-life change and full function. Common patient complaints about functional loss include their mood (fed up and irritated), ability to focus and concentrate on work or daily activities, disturbed sleep, missing out on quality time with my family/friends, and extra stress making their problem worse. We routinely achieve an average of 92% migraine pain reduction. Such results make these losses of function evaporate.
According to our results and in most cases, it doesn't matter how severe a patient's migraines or headaches are, how long they've had them, what type they were, or even what other qualified practitioners had told them about their migraines and/or headaches. The Advanced Treatment, in most all cases, is highly effective at getting patients past their headache & migraine pain that other practitioners usually have issues in treating. This way, patients can start living life like they've always wanted, but never could find in all the muchness and manyness of confusing misinformation on the internet.
In summary, our System has successfully reversed migraine pain with lasting results in thousands of patients who had all types of headaches as well as migraines. We have provided real & lasting migraine and headache relief to the most jaded of skeptics who have tried nearly everything for migraines - those who thought there was no identification of the actual underlying problem, no way to achieve lasting relief, and no way to restore life function and happiness.
Dr. Jeff Turner, DPT, cert. MDT - Biography
Our Founder is Dr. Jeff Turner, DPT, Cert. MDT, a Spine Specialist in San Antonio, Texas who treats difficult headache, migraine, and radiculopathy cases worldwide through his Advanced Treatment, which has been applied to thousands of in-clinic as well as remote-session patient cases for those not in Texas. He has been in practice for 32 years. His clinical Doctorate is from Boston University ('08), with research focusing on the true source of migraines, headaches, and radiculopathy, as well as their natural, lasting resolution.
The Real Issue
Recognizing that temporary relief solutions don't last long enough, and usually aren't strong enough for severe headache & migraine cases, his Treatment is different than others. His Treatment is specifically engineered to resolve even the most intense & unique headache, migraine, and radiculopathy cases.*
About Dr. Turner & His Advanced Treatment
He specializes in a very detailed evaluation and treatment System proven to empower pain sufferers to rapidly reverse countless overlapping symptoms & problems of even the most unique and severe cases. Nearly all cases achieve lasting relief without ongoing medications, injections, or therapies. He has evaluated and treated more than 5,300 headache/migraine patients in the past 17 years including doctors and neurologists. His Advanced Treatment is customized to each patient's specific & particular condition to save them from ongoing pain and spending money in the future on temporary relief treatments that, in most cases, don't last. Statistics indicate that many of his successful patients who adhere to his system of treatment used to have headaches and/or migraines for 20 years or more until they finally found Dr. Turner's Treatment, and had, in many cases, already seen 5 different practitioners (such as doctors, neurologists, and/or other specialists) without getting the relief they were looking for.* He lives in Central Texas with his wife. He has five children and enjoys reading and running.
