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

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

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. Instead, 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. It angers me to no end now that I look back and think of all of the bad medical advice that I paid for over the years.

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.

What a relief it was to finally find a healthcare provider who listened attentively as she took my health history. Her extra training in this area made me aware that she was serious about achieving results with her patients.

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 plays as a precursor to the onset of severe migraine most of the time. Spasms taking place during a migraine makes it even more painful for the individual.

No longer am I awakened in the middle of the night with the severe pain of a migraine, followed by agony for the next three or four days. I owe everyone at Great Life Chiropractic my most sincere thanks for their ongoing care, which has increased the quality of my life in so many ways. Orange County Chiropractic
