By practicing good health habits, a majority of sufferers can avoid at least some of their headaches. The Ohio Academy of Family Physician is a statewide professional association with more than 4,100 members, including practicing physicians, family practice residents and medical students. The scope of family practice encompasses all ages, both sexes, and every disease entity.
