“I’ve had headaches for years. They’ve been called migraines. I’ve tried all types of pain medications, but I still get headaches.”
“My neck and the back of my head and shoulders really bother me. Massage and neck adjustments seem to help, but only for a short while.”
“Lately, I’ve been getting more and more bouts of lightheadedness and dizziness. It seems worse when I bend down to pick something up and get up quickly. I feel uncoordinated and unsteady. When I walk, I often bump into things.”
“When I am in a large department store or crowd, I feel rather uncomfortable and anxious.”
“I’ve seen multiple doctors, had a CAT scan and MRI, and all of the doctors say that I am fine. However, I am still getting dizzy and having severe headaches.”
