Migraine Relief, When the Magic Pill Just Won’t Work, Try No-Twist-No-Crack Chiropractic.
Migraine relief is why I became a chiropractor, I have enjoyed a headache and drug free lifestyle for the past thirty years. Prior to a no-twisting, no-cracking adjustment to my upper neck when I was 16, I had a migraine, at least once a week, even with prescription medications, my entire life.
I was a regular at the school nurse’s office throughout all of grade school and didn’t think twice about the constant medications or their numerous side-effects, it is just what migraine sufferers do… to survive.
When the migraines got real bad, the meds did nothing and I would go into the bathroom, turn out the lights, throw up and hope to pass out on the cool floor.

At a very young age, I started to self-medicate with alcohol and illicit drugs, that didn’t help my migraines either but it did get me in other trouble.
I was sleeping through school but miraculously my test scores were high enough for an advanced placement program and fast track to medical school.
I crashed my first car, hurt my neck and whiplash was the one thing that my family thought chiropractic was used for. So I went to the chiropractor, a nice enough guy, seemed contagiously enthusiastic about chiropractic but when I started telling other people about how chiropractic seemed to be helping more than just my neck pain, I got the warnings about how unsafe and unscientific chiropractic was.
This was before the internet and I couldn’t find any books at the library to justify my new lifestyle choices but no-one could argue that after a few months, not only was my neck better but my headaches were gone and for the first time in my life I was not on any kind of medication.

A switch flipped for me and for the first time in my life I found passion. I was pain free, drug-free and thinking clearly. I passed up the medical school option, I couldn’t invest my life energy in something that didn’t really work for me. It was only when I got to chiropractic school that I learned that most chiropractors are not like the one that saved my life.
I started to realize why most people would not even consider going to a chiropractor if the treatment for everything and everyone was to grab your head and twist your neck until something cracks and then do it again and again and again, every time you get “treated”.
That is not what my chiropractor did, it wasn’t what my school taught, but it is what most chiropractors were and still are taught and how they treat patients regardless of the patient’s condition. That still seems crazy to me and I understand why I get the look from some people when they find out what kind of doctor I am.
Over the past 23 years I have helped thousands of migraine sufferers and every single one was different in some way but none of them ever got their neck twisted or cracked.
