New York, NY -- (SBWire) -- 01/10/2012 --Studies have shown each year more than 45 million Americans suffer from chronic headaches. And in an effort to relieve these headaches, sufferers spend more than $2 billion on over-the counter medications.

Headaches can be caused from a number of ailments including stress, strained muscles, neck pain, temporomandibular joint or jaw pain (TMJ) and more.
