Patient Testimonials
The results speak for themselves!
I met Scott Forfinski 2 days before Christmas, and had excruciating neck pain and a migraine that lasted over a week due to a recent pinched nerve in my neck. Within 2 weeks, he got me down to a 2 out of 10! So much better to get help via PT and let the body heal and strengthen itself than throw pain meds at the problem like the neurologist suggested. Anyway, I am super grateful and impressed with the excellent protocol he provided for me to do at home, but the in-office visits were top-notch! He spends time getting to know the whole patient, not just the area of injury. He incorporates that into the treatment plan, and the results speak for themselves. I’ve been pain-free after 2 months of treatment and can go skiing again! Yay! Thumbs up, AHI! Thank you!!

The American Headache Institute and Scott have really changed my life!
I started going to the AHI in September of 2022. I worked with Scott about once each week until the end of November 2022. I have had migraine headaches for 25 to 30 years. The migraines began to get worse recently and having between fifteen to eighteen headaches each month was hard to deal with. After the first month with Scott, my headaches started to decrease and by the time we were at the end of November, my headaches were almost non-existent. Headaches that would last three days, four days, and even nine days were gone. Now if I get a headache it will be once or twice a month and only last an hour or two. When there was no treatment for the headaches before, now I have different exercises to try that help and even prevent my headaches. The American Headache Institute and Scott have really changed my life!

I’ve been migraine free for 4 1/2 months!!
Dr. DiMaggio (Angelo) has changed my life from having 2-3 migraines per week to not having a migraine in 4 1/2 months. With guidance from Dr. DiMaggio, I’ve been able to change my level 8/9 migraines down to zero. I wouldn’t believe this could ever happen 10 months ago. I have tried everything from diet changes, 7 years of chiropractic work, yoga, and meditation, with no relief. Medicine didn’t touch my migraines. The only thing I could do is go into a dark room, put a heating pad on my eyes, and wait it out. I no longer need to do this, because I’ve been migraine free for 4 1/2 months. I am forever grateful for Angelo’s guidance, knowledge, and passion to help people like me.

If you are considering AHI, do yourself a favor and schedule an appointment!
So thankful to have been referred to AHI by my neurologist. I have dealt with headaches and migraines most of my life and have now been going to AHI for just over three months. Today, I am 100 days migraine free! I am down to only one low-grade headache a week. I have been searching for a root cause and an active solution for my headaches and finally feel I have found that. Scott is friendly and compassionate in addition to being knowledgeable. He truly works to educate his patients and helps them to heal.

I highly recommend American Headache Institute for anybody suffering with any type of headache or neck-related problem.
I had daily tension headaches and migraines for 20 months straight, with no complete relief of symptoms. Before I came to American Headache Institute, I went to a couple different medical practices, but had no success. On my first appointment, Mr. DiMaggio significantly reduced my headache pain. This had given me hope that I did not have before. I followed Mr. DiMaggio’s treatment program and his exercises continued to drop my pain level and decrease the frequency of my headaches. After 5 months, Mr. DiMaggio and Mr. Forfinski completely abolished my headache symptoms. I am so grateful for their outstanding program. I highly recommend American Headache Institute for anybody suffering with any type of headache or neck-related problem.

I highly recommend this place(Even if you have to drive far, it's worth it).
I was referred to the American Headache Institute by my dentist for facial and neck pain. I had already tried traditional physical therapy without much improvement. I was skeptical at first, because the treatment was not the same as regular therapy, but the results were amazing! My pain levels have greatly reduced and are on the way to being completely gone! I found Angelo DiMaggio and his staff to be caring, compassionate, and very knowledgeable in this field. Angelo travels all over the country teaching other professionals these cutting edge techniques, many that he developed himself. If you have any type of headache, neck or facial pain, I highly recommend this place(Even if you have to drive far, it’s worth it).

I am feeling like I did when I was 20 years younger and close to being pain free! Thank you. Evonne Kakos, D.D.S.
I am a retired dentist and at the end of my dental career I was in so much pain in different areas of my body that I didn’t know what was going on. Thanks to Angelo and Scott at the American Headache Institute, the exercise regimen/treatment plan they put me on was life changing! After neck and now back therapy, I am feeling like I did when I was 20 years younger and close to being pain free! Thank you. Evonne Kakos, D.D.S.

I am able to ride my bike, golf and help care for my grandchild. My husband and I feel this was a real miracle. Thank you Angelo and staff.
At age 30, I was told I had fibromyalgia and for 20 plus years I tried everything (Physical therapy, surgeries, yoga, chiropractic, and medications) possible to manage the neck, shoulder, and headache pain. The treatment was very unconventional, and I had serious doubts at first, but after 5 months of treatment I felt like this was a miracle for me. Four years later, still pain free.

I suggest this place to anyone with any sort of headaches, jaw, back, neck pain. You name it, they can help it.
This place actually changed my life. Angelo was awesome. Their pain management methods are unlike any others. They really are one in a million. I was taught how to maintain proper posture in everything that I do from sitting, standing, laying down, even brushing my teeth. Posture is everything!!! I had horrible horrible back pain, headaches, and jaw pain. I tried traditional physical therapy and it didn’t help. I was ready to just accept this was my life at only 20 years old. Then I found AHI and was taught how to better care for my spine. I still do my physical therapy exercises every day of my life as my spinal injury is serious. I’m absolutely blessed to have found this place because although I still have minor pain, it is NOWHERE NEAR the pain I used to go through and the exercises taught to me can always bring the pain down. I owe Angelo my life really. I suggest this place to anyone with any sort of headaches, jaw, back, neck pain. You name it, they can help it.

Don't suffer anymore make an appointment today.
I was recommended to American Headache Institute by my primary physician when I went in to the doctor office for extreme dizziness. After several visits over a course of a month my dizziness was gone but treatment gave me bad headaches which is part of the steps to figure out the best way to treat the neck injury. I am now dizzy and headache free. I would recommend Scott F. to anyone that has headaches dizziness or anything related to the neck and head. I also have MS and we discovered thru exercise treatments he had me due, that my neck was causing of my tingling on the right hand. Don’t suffer anymore make an appointment today.

Within hours the Vertigo improved dramatically and by the 2nd day I did not have any more symptoms!
I saw Scott Forfinski when I developed Vertigo. I went in feeling dizzy and nauseous. I have never experienced this before and was very concerned that it would last for days or weeks. Scott saw me immediately and preformed exercises with me that instantly made me feel better. Scott also gave me things to try at home if my condition got worse. Within hours the Vertigo improved dramatically and by the 2nd day I did not have any more symptoms!
