I would like to start by saying upper cervical adjustments have completely changed my overall health and attitude on life. I came to NUCCA over 6 months ago after suffering from migraines for the last 6 years. I would experience a migraine at least once a month during or a week before the onset of my menses.

To me, it was just a "given" that I would get one and I lived with that. Some months depending on the stresses in my life, I would experience more than one migraine. If something upset me or recently since I have been in school taking tests, I would get a migraine during mid-terns and finals as well as during my menses.

I began to realize I was having migraines more than I was free of them. I was in pain one day in Dr. Friedman's class and he noticed and suggested that I come to see him at his office. Since, I am also studying to be a chiropractor, it didn't take much convincing and I wanted to see if upper cervical adjustments could help me more than some of the other chiropractic techniques I have tried. It did help and I am convinced it is the only way to help my migraines.

I felt a big sense of relief from the first adjustment, as though someone lifted a heavy weight off of my neck and shoulders. My head usually radiates with pain during my migraines and to be able to say that I have not had a serious migraine for over 6 months is incredible. I experienced one minor migraine two months ago, after I got into a minor car accident, but since then, I have not had another.

The NUCCA correction has truly changed my world. I can happily say I do not get migraines before, during or after my menses anymore, nor have I had one from any stress in my life.
