Her Chiropractic Story

When I began chiropractic school, I had never heard of upper cervical care until my student intern introduced me to it for my chronic headaches. I used to believe that frequent headaches and popping ibuprofen were just a part of normal life, especially since these are a regular experience for so many people. It wasn't until my first re-evaluation that I realized how much my condition had improved. Looking back over the 8 weeks, I saw that I had gone from experiencing several headaches a week to just 2-3 a month. This eye-opening experience motivated me to dive deeper into upper cervical care during my studies, learning how specific upper cervical adjustments can affect the entire body. Now, I'm passionate about offering hope and alternative solutions for addressing the root causes of a myriad of health conditions and symptoms like headaches, migraines, and vertigo.
