John D. – Mira Mesa

I went to the chiropractor as a last resort, but I wish I had made it a first resort! I had begun having intense headaches. They always began at the base of my skull and then would slowly radiate through my entire head. I tried all kinds of pain medication. I had an MRI which showed no signs of tumors of any kind.

At first I only got the headaches once or twice a month, but then they increased to once or twice a week. They were affecting my whole life. Sometimes I would have to skip activities because of the pain. My doctor prescribed muscle relaxants but I hated how sleepy they made me.
Finally, I made an appointment with the Scripps Chiropractic. I didn’t expect the headaches to go away. I just hoped chiropractic care would give me a little pain relief and a little stress relief.

After the first adjustment the headaches became much more bearable. The pain relief was wonderful! After the third visit I realized I hadn’t had a headache in almost three weeks.

Today I am virtually headache free. On the rare occasion when I do have one, it is much milder than they ever were before.
