Wow, wow, WOW! Hindsight is 20/20!I got my first tension headache migraine almost 10 years ago. Unless you've had one, you can't truly understand how awful they are. Mine progressively got worse and worse over the years. To the point were I was chronically getting them almost every other day. It was debilitating to my life. Having to take time off work because of them, or trying to muscle through the pain, was exhausting. The number of family/social events I had to cancel on, was frustrating. I had thought it was just caused by bad neck/head posture and was all self-inflicted. I was taking Excedrin way too often to combat the pain, which is (1) expensive and (2) not good for you to take so frequently. But I didn't know what else to do, nothing else had worked. I thought that this would just be my life.Until.A friend of mine recommended a chiropractor. I had always (falsely) presumed that a chiropractor would just treat the pain but not solve anything, so it would just be a waste. But I was so, SO wrong.The first day at Finesse Chiropractic, I was x-ray'd. Turns out, I have a terrible spine - years worth of degradation that has compounded over time. This was causing the tension in my upper back, which was causing my migraines. I found out that I couldn't even turn my head as far to one side as I could the other! (how did I not notice this...) My spine had, overall, about 50% the range of motion it should have. That's an 'F'. Pathetic.Dr. Marvin put me on a 8-week plan to reverse the damage done by the degradation. I went in 3-times a week for adjustments. After my first time in (x-ray/adjustment), I went over a week without a tension headache migraine. I can't tell you the last time that I went that long without one - it's been years. It was mind-blowing. Ever since, my tension headache migraines got more and more in-frequent. Now, I may only get one every couple weeks (if that). When I got re-tested, I improved the flexibility of my lower back from 50% to 100% and increased my upper back's flexibility (which was the worst) from 50% to 75%. I'm starting another 8-week program to continue to work towards 100% range of motion in my upper-back.The change this has made to my quality of life is astounding. For so long, I thought my future was going to consist of nothing but pain. Now I can live my life without being restricted, tied down, and having to trudge through each day because of my migraines. It's a whole new world that I didn't know could be mine.If you, like me, have suffered from recurrent, tension headache migraines, I HIGHLY recommend chiropractic and HIGHLY recommend Dr. Marvin at Finesse Chiropractic. His excellent knowledge, skills and education has changed my life. He and his staff are very kind and accommodating; I am so thankful I chose them as my first chiropractor. Don't wait like I did! It's not worth it! Just DO IT! :)
