I was 16 years old when I fell from my horse during a competition and my battle with migraine headaches began. 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
It has been 10 years that I have been looking for someone who could ease my pain,leading me from doctor to doctor. Healthcare providers who were simply not interested in listening to my medical history or treating the root problem erroneously diagnosed me with many ailments such as sinus infections and depression. Rather, they preferred to prescribe more and more painkillers and checking me into the hospital for test after test.
One physician put me on the antibiotic Ceclor for about six months, along with a strong painkiller Percocet during my mid-20s. 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.
Finally, at the insistence of a co-worker, I visited Dr.Candice McCowin, DC, 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. After several visits to Great Life Chiropractic, 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.
I found out that Dr.McCowin is a certified Pettibon doctor, that has completed all of the fundamental courses of the Pettibon System which concentrates on Pediatrics, Scoliosis, and Pettibon Neurology. Her extra training in this area let me know that she was serious about achieving results with her patients.
Though many people think of massage as a relaxing experience, Dr. McCowin told me that it is an effective treatment of dealing with the discomfort caused by 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 makes it even more painful for the individual.
Severe migraine pain, followed by agony for the next three or four days does not wake me up in the middle of the night anymore. I am thankful to everyone’s ongoing care at Great Life Chiropractic for enhancing the quality of my life in so many ways. Chiropractic Care In Orange County
