Trust me you're gonna want to come here. Hear me out. I exhausted almost every possible doctor and treatment for my chronic migraines, ones that left me in the emergency room every night for the pain, or were so bad that I curled up in a ball on the floor of my freshman dorm room for hours. I wasn't eating, I couldn't sleep, couldn't think. I woke up every morning feeling like I was hit by a truck. I had hormonal acne all over my face, my back ached, my knees, my arms, my feet, you name it, something. was. wrong. I had MRIs, XRAYs, I was put on various migraine medications, given physical therapy, anxiety medication, antidepressants, and I popped ibuprofen like it was candy. I'd accepted that things weren't going to get better, until a friend referred me to this godsend. Glenfeliz Chiropractic Associates. Simply put, they've probably saved my life in more ways than one. After a detailed report of all my past injuries, some x rays, and an exam of my nervous system, they found extensive damage and subluxations along my back(in lamence terms, after the many kerfuffles that come with being an athletic and goofy kid, my bones and ligaments had been inflamed and nudged out of place over time, healing wrong and applying scar tissue- and were causing major damage to how my nerves work, giving me migraines and causing all my pain). The process started out slow but I was on my last legs anyways, so I stuck with it. Letting a stranger hold ur head in their hands and being told to relax while they twist it rapidly is weird. I have to admit. But the most amazing thing happens. For the first time in forever, you're able to feel relief!
(Oh and also your body starts healing or whatever.) So I persevered, kept making that two hour round trip drive through LA morning traffic before heading back to school, all for a doctor to poke my organs and bend my neck and snap my joints. My friends still think I'm a little crazy for caring if I miss an appointment. But steadily, each appointment was easier, waking up was easier I started eating again, I started laughing again, and I was able to go on walks, look at screens without feeling my head pound. Not to mention, my posture got better and my friends said I looked taller. My stomach doesn't violently reject anything and everything, and I feel like IM the one who hit the TRUCK. or at the very least it only grazed me when it drove by(it's a work in progress.) The doctor even restricted my diet and get this... I LISTENED TO HER. And I'm 19! we don't do that. That's how much of an impact this chiropractic care has had on my health and well-being. Just a couple of weeks ago Dr. Claire was practically giddy to show me my XRAYS and go over my progress from the start of my treatment, but I honestly didn't really need to see them. Because I can already see my progress. And thankfully, I can feel it. So trust me, make yourself an appointment for that bum knee or ur bad back, or for that pesky insomnia that just won't go away. Chiropractic is the way to go. read more
