The Three Spoke Framework: Understanding the Root Causes of Headaches and Migraines
Manage episode 514688528 series 3310421
In this episode of The Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves breaks down his proven Three Spoke Framework — a simple but powerful way to understand and treat nearly every type of headache and migraine.
He explains that while headaches can present in many confusing ways — from tension and hormonal migraines to aura, dizziness, or neck pain — most cases fit into three key categories:
- Mechanical causes – Issues in the neck, jaw, or shoulders that send pain signals into the head.
- Developmental factors – Airway, dental, or postural issues that affect how the body functions over time.
- Systemic influences – Hormones, gut health, stress, and inflammation that lower the body’s pain threshold.
Dr. Taves discusses how understanding these three categories helps identify the true source of pain and create a personalized, medication-free path to lasting relief. He emphasizes that most patients are not outliers — and with the right framework, long-term improvement is possible.
