Your Fort Worth Chiropractor

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

I have been looking for someone who could ease my pain,leading me from doctor to doctor for 10 years already. 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. 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. To cure my sinus infection, this doctor insisted these drugs to me. However, 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.

Finally, I felt relieved to find a healthcare provider who listens attentively as she took my health history. Achieving results with her patients through her extra training in this area makes me aware that she was indeed serious.

Although many people think of massage as a relaxing experience, Dr. McCowin told me that it is an effective way of dealing with the discomfort brought 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.

My regular treatments and adjustments, she explained, keep my spine and cervical bones aligned properly, improving my posture, and reducing the migraines. I am thankful to everyone’s ongoing care at Great Life Chiropractic for enhancing the quality of my life in so many ways. Orange County Chiropractic
