Case Study #5: Doctor,my headaches are killing me!

This typical case came in not long ago. We'll keep the details succinct so the blog can stay at a reasonable length. Nancy was 27 years old. She was a secretary and sat such that she had to look to her right for materials to type data from. As well, the phone was to her right and she often cradled it in her right shoulder/neck area while working. She slept on her stomach, enjoyed red wine and entire pots of coffee each day as well as chocolate. Finally, she didn't exercise much. Her neck X-Ray show a reverse curve in the neck. Taken altogether, we had a classic example of a case that required a WHOLISTIC Care approach. Make a long story short: Nancy re-arranged her work station materials, got a head-set to use with the phone, stopped sleeping on her stomach, drastically reduced her red wine and coffee intake, stopped eating chocolate altogether, used an ortho pillow for her neck, joined a gym and began working out and finally; came in for regular chiropractic adjustments to her entire spine, with an emphasis on her C spine.

Moral to the story: Chiropractic care alone probably wouldn't have solved Nancy's Headache issue. But a thorough WHOLISTIC APPROACH worked wonderfully. Think about it.
