Over 45 million Americans (about one in six) suffer chronic headaches each year. The cost of these headaches in absenteeism and medical expenses is estimated as high as $50 billion per year. –Discovery Health (Why Do We Get Headaches?). This next quote comes from The Migraine Research Foundation’s Migraine Fact Sheet. Nearly 1 in 4 U.S. households includes someone with migraine (about 18% of American women). Migraine ranks in the top 20 of the world’s most disabling medical illnesses, with about 14 million Americans having chronic daily headache. More than 90% of sufferers are unable to work or function normally during their migraine.

Despite the fact that she is only twenty years old, Sandy has been dealing with chronic daily headaches for a decade. It all started when she was bucked off her horse 10 years ago, and has gotten bad enough that she was having trouble with her activities of daily living — not a good thing when you live and work on a ranch and attend college full time. Having tried CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS in the past without any sort of real relief, someone told her that our unique approach might provide her with answers.
Sandy had an incredible restriction of motion in her neck — something that I find almost universally in non-metabolic headaches (headaches related to GLUTEN, BLOOD SUGAR, MSG / ASPARTAME, ESTROGEN DOMINANCE) and a whole host of others). When I walked into the treatment room Friday and asked Sandy how she had done with the treatment I had given her three weeks earlier (her first), she told me that she was 99% improved. I told her that our Visual Analog Scale could only do increments of 10 (90% or 100%). Either way you slice it, this is some serious improvement!
