There were many times in my childhood that I suffered through symptoms of ill health.  I remember being in elementary school suffering from piercing headaches.  I remember having difficulty concentrating and focusing in class and being easily frustrated with even the simplest of assignments.  

In my teens, my headaches became more frequent and intense.  I was becoming fatigued, irritable, and started to developed food allergies.  There were times when I felt weakness in my arms and hands that would come and go.  I couldn't make a strong fist even if my life depended on it.  

When I got into college, my headaches were accompanied by migraines.  I would get colds that lasted months and when that cleared I would suffer from allergies that seemed to last the rest of the year.  I had such terrible sinus issues that it was a blessing if I could breathe through one nostril at all.  My studies obviously became difficult.  Focusing on school was a chore.  My back started to hurt.  My knees began to bother me.  

By my mid 20's my migraines became more frequent.  I always felt like I was in a mental fog.  I was having insomnia occasionally until one day it lasted for 5 years straight.  I did not have one dream in those five years!  I was so tired all the time that it was a wonder I got up to do anything at all.  I can't believe I used to work in this condition.    

By now I was a complete mess.  I was so sure I had cancer that I had tests run on me that came back negative.  I was have chest tightness but my heart exams said there was no problem.  I felt like I was dying!  I started getting depressed.  I had no idea why.

Then a life changing opportunity was given to me.  I found myself at an upper cervical doctor's office.  He explained to me how a misalignment in my neck, more specifically the atlas, was interfering with the healing messages my brain was trying to send out to the rest of my body.  He explained how putting this vertebrae in its proper position would give my body its best chance to heal through whatever problems I was having.  He explained that he was not interested in treating symptoms.  Instead he was increasing the body's functioning capacity by removing the misalignment.  

I always knew there was a reason for my poor health, but now I knew what the reason was.  I was not sick because I was lacking drugs.  The misalignment in my neck was literally killing me!    

My first adjustment literally felt like nothing.  It was quick gentle tap.  No twisting, cracking, pulling.  I went home and don’t remember falling asleep, but I did for 13 hours straight and had the first dream in 5 years.  It was vivid, colorful, and intense.  Within one week my headaches were gone.  My sinuses cleared up and my allergies were doing better.  The migraines took some time but I was getting better.  I was on a path to well being and I knew I found the truth.  

I am still a patient and doing well.  I feel amazing.  I know that had it not been for this care that I could not be the person I am today.  One who is healthy, happy and peaceful.

You don’t have to suffer. I have been where you are. Come by and give upper cervical a try. Your body knows you best.
