Before Coming to Upper Cervical Health Centers, I had constant pain and tension in my neck and upper shoulders coupled with a headache that made me want to curl up in bed. I am a parent of a child with special needs so I thought a lot of my problems stemmed from lifting a growing child. In September 2011 I went to a general chiropractor in Alaska, after being seen a few times we decided to x-ray my neck. The x-rays showed reverse cervical lordosis, and I was recommended a cervical pump. However, I showed no improvement and my symptoms continued to worsen.
After moving to Idaho in late January I sought out help in May because my quality of life was being affected due to my pain. Dr. Blom took in depth x-rays and was able to give me a definitive cause for my symptoms. A subluxated C1. I finally had an answer to the pain that had been growing worse for the last two years. After my first adjustment my body started adjusting, and I had no headache. I am happy to say that I continue to be headache free, with no chronic neck/shoulder pain, and my body finally feels the age I am.
Thank you!
