Co-Workers Conquer the Agony of Migraine and Carpal Tunnel Through Costa Mesa Chiropractic

My battle with migraine headaches began when I was 16 years old and fell from my horse during a competition. When I landed on my head and left shoulder, the migraines started their hold over me that would last for several years. Chiropractor In Orange County California

It has been 10 years that I have been looking for someone who could ease my pain,leading me from doctor to doctor. I have been erroneously diagnosed with many ailments such as sinus infections and depression by healthcare providers who were simply not interested in listening to my medical history or treating the root problem. Rather, they preferred to prescribe more and more painkillers and checking me into the hospital for test after test.

At one point, in my mid-20s, one physician put me on the antibiotic Ceclor for about six months, along with the strong painkiller Percocet. This doctor insisted prescribing these drugs to me to cure my sinus infection. Although I did not have a sinus infection. Thinking of all the bad medical advice that I paid for over the years, It just makes me angry.

Then due to the insistence of a co-worker, I visited Dr Candice McCowin at Great Life Chiropractic in Costa Mesa, California. My office mate suffered the agony of carpal tunnel syndrome to the extent where her physician advised surgery that would leave scars on her wrists and make her unable to perform her job for a couple of weeks. My co-worker was no longer in pain and could not believe she was so close to agreeing to such an invasive procedure with her medical doctor after several visits to Great Life Chiropractic.

Finally, I felt relieved to find a healthcare provider who listens attentively as she took my health history. Achieving results with her patients through her extra training in this area makes me aware that she was indeed serious.

Dr.McCowin told me that, although many people think of massage as a relaxing experience, it is an effective way to deal with the discomfort of tight muscle spasms. Many migraine sufferers experience such muscle spasms in their necks, which is often a precursor to the onset of a severe migraine. Spasms taking place during a migraine aggravates more pain for the individual.

According to her, my regular treatments and adjustments will keep my spine and cervical bones aligned properly, improving my posture and reducing the migraines. I am thankful to everyone’s ongoing care at Great Life Chiropractic for enhancing the quality of my life in so many ways. Costa Mesa Chiropractic
