Co-Workers Overcoming the Agony of Migraine and Carpal Tunnel With Chiropractic Care In Costa Mesa

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

The next 10 years led me from doctor to doctor, looking for someone who could ease my pain. I was 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. Rather, they preferred to prescribe more and more painkillers and checking me into the hospital for test after test.

In my mid-20s, one physician put me on the antibiotic Ceclor for about six months, along with a strong painkiller Percocet. This doctor insisted that these drugs would cure my sinus infection. Although I did not have a sinus infection. Thinking of all the bad medical advice that I paid for over the years, It just makes me angry.

Finally, at the insistence of a co-worker, I visited Dr.Candice McCowin, DC, 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. After several visits to Great Life Chiropractic, 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.

Completing all of the fundamental courses of the Pettibon System which focuses on Pediatrics, Scoliosis, and Pettibon Neurology, I learned that Dr. McCowin is a certified Pettibon doctor. 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 aggravates more pain 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
