My battle with migraine headaches began when I was 16 years old and fell from my horse during a competition. The migraines started their hold over me that would last for several years when I landed on my head and left shoulder. Costa Mesa 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. They rather prefer prescribing more and more painkillers and having me checked 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. However, I did not have a sinus infection. It just makes me angry to look back and think of all 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. 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.

Finally, I felt relieved to find a healthcare provider who listens 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. 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.

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 grateful to everyone’s ongoing care at Great Life Chiropractic in increasing the quality of my life in so many ways. Costa Mesa Chiropractic
