Migraine Headaches

Thirty-five years ago, I began to suffer from migraine headaches which would make my head throb with pain and make me sick to my stomach. I would need to miss work and spend the day in bed with a ice pack on my neck and a cold compress on my forehead. Noise and light made the pain of the migraine worse, so I would need complete quiet and total darkness while I rested. After the worst of the migraine was gone, I would still be so wiped out that I could not function in my normal routine so my whole family suffered through my migraines with me.

Wanting relief from the migraines, I tried every over-the-counter medication imaginable and nothing helped. I also tried going to a chiropractor, who focused on pain management, and had my neck and back "cracked." I tried five different chiropractors who each tried to manage my pain through their own special technique, whether it was electrical stimulus therapy, ultra-sound therapy, or tools like the activator. Nothing helped and I continued to suffer with my neck pain and migraines.

Then I heard about an upper cervical technique called NUCCA that focuses on spinal correction and retrains the spine to correct subluxations and restore the body to optimal health. After my first NUCCA adjustment, my neck was actually PAIN-FREE and I had grown so used to pain in my neck that I cried from amazement. Through following a NUCCA care plan, I have now been FREE from migraines for over 8 years !! Seeking care from a NUCCA doctor was the best decision of my life because it gave me my life back.
