I had suffered with debilitating migraines for 30 years!
Well, to begin, I was a skeptic until 2 years ago. Chiropractic care was not on my radar screen until it was my LAST resort.
I had suffered with debilitating migraines for 30 years! I tried to watch what I ate, drank, how much sleep I got, tried to reduce my stress etc. etc. None of it seemed to matter - I would avoid red wine, chocolate, red meat - whatever the traditional experts claimed where the cause of migraines. Sometimes I would eat wine/chocolate and not be bothered with a migraine. Other times, I would be in bed for most of the day with the lights turned out and suffering the crushing, pounding, throbbing pain...
2 years ago, I was at my wits end - my migraine pills were no longer having any affect on the pain... I asked my doctor what else I could try and she told me that there was nothing stronger... but maybe try these nasal pain meds. The migraines were now coming almost daily and so I thought I'd try them ... I would rather suffer the pain than the taste of them! I was so sick of being sick and tired and in bed and suffering - there must be a better way.
A friend who had just been to Dr. Francine Dallaire's office for chiropractic care happened to come by and asked me if I knew anyone who would be interested in seeing a wonderful chiropractor for a very small fee. I knew this was an answer to prayer and I called the same day.
I was greeted by all the staff with such genuine care and interest in who I was and how they would - not could - help me. I still was a bit of a skeptic but I wanted to be open to all this "alternative" medicine as the traditional ones were not working! After the scan, x-rays etc and my very first "click" visit - I could feel the difference! My whole body felt tingly and alive and a pressure had been lifted. It was a slow but steady process into the healing of my migraines. The explanation of what chiropractic care is all about and the research and science behind it all helped with me turning from a skeptic into an advocate.
From the very beginning, my migraines were reduced in number and in intensity. Now, 2 years later, I can count on ONE hand the number of migraines I have had this year in 2008 AND that all them were managed by one "Tylenol" or "Advil" pill. I have not refilled my migraine prescription in the 2 years, and I believe I have had to take 2 -3 pills during this 2 year time frame.
I have recommended chiropractic care to others who suffer from headaches/migraines and will continue to do so. When I see others suffering as I did, I remember those days and am so glad they are in the past! My only regret is that I didn't take advantage of this wonderful, healing practice for "optimum health" 30 years ago. No one should have to suffer - when there is a natural way to be healed!
Thank you to all of you at the Chiropractic Centre - for Optimum Health! I wish and pray that all of you will be blessed with continued health, joy, peace and love in the New Year and forever!
