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

Published by admin at 6:14 am under Diseases, Conditions and Treatments

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

I have been looking for someone who could ease my pain,leading me from doctor to doctor for 10 years already. 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. They rather prefer prescribing more and more painkillers and having me checked 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 that these drugs would cure my sinus infection. But 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.

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

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. Achieving results with her patients through her extra training in this area makes me aware that she was indeed serious.

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. Often a precursor to the onset of severe migraine, many migraine sufferers experience such muscle spasms in their necks. Spasms taking place during a migraine makes it even more painful for the individual.

I am no longer awakened in the middle of the night by severe migraine pain, 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. Chiropractic Care In Costa Mesa
