Headaches? No need to suffer…

Headaches whether they are tension, cluster, or migraine can interfere with our life routines. Such as, days off of work, inability to enjoy loved ones, isolation from society and even possible depression. Studies have recently linked severe and frequent migraines to suicidal thoughts and or actions. If you are a current sufferer or have experienced a headache before, you can definitely relate and would not want to have these episodes repeating themselves over and over again robbing you of life.

Although Chiropractors do not treat any type of headache specifically. We do receive great results with headache and migraine cases. Ranging from decreasing the frequency and intensity to resolution of headaches completely.

Studies have shown that a high percentage of headaches originate from the cervical spine or neck area. Usually due to mal-positioned joints in the spine causing tension of the muscles leading to spasms and irritation of the nerves of the cervical spine going into the head, face and neck. For that reason, many patients receive immediate relief once those mal-positioned joints in the upper cervical spine are corrected and stay corrected through proper and precise adjustments.

Here are a few patients who would like to share their experience:

“I was referred to Dr. Miranda by my medical doctor Dr. Jimenez. I was dealing with chronic and constant headaches for years. When I first started care I noticed less pressure on my neck. After a few visits I noticed overall less tension and I was not stress eating as much as before. The cause of my problem was the top cervical bone rotated out of position. Now that Dr. Miranda has been adjusting me, I am able to do more social activities and I have slightly increased physical activities. I would most certainly recommend this care to others.” – Jessica Hodges

“I came to Essence of Life Spinal Care with dizziness, chronic migraines, anxiety, mental fog, insomnia and visual disturbances. My migraines were so bad that I would have to close the shades and sleep in a pitch black room with no noise. With a 3 year old and a puppy these conditions were debilitating me and I could only do for them what my body would allow which, were short of what I needed to get done. After being under Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care I started noticing changes right away after the first adjustment. I was so used to being in pain that not being in pain was weird, but when I was able to get through a whole day without a migraine I was convinced and optimistic about this care. Soon I was able to sleep without having to take my anxiety or sleeping pills, my mental fog cleared, my anxiety reduced and I began dreaming again every night. I’m now able to take my daughter to the zoo without having to leave soon due to a migraine. This care not only allowed my body to heal from the health issues I was having but it gave me my life back. It allowed me to have fun with my baby again, think clearly, and have more energy to chase my daughter around or play dress up. Also, not being bed ridden keeps my house a lot cleaner. My life has made a complete three Sixty and I owe it all to Dr. Miranda at Essence of Life Spinal Care.” – Darlene Witham
