I came in because I thought I had nothing to lose.
Following eight back surgeries and after suffering with a headache that had lasted for a year, this patient was desperate for answers. Listen to her describe her story and amazing results with upper cervical care.
[Linda]
My name is Linda McCormick. I’ve had eight back surgeries, two fusions, I fell last December and I have a headache for almost a year. I tried everything, nothing worked and I saw Dr. Bulow at the Taste of Home Show. And I came in because I thought that had nothing to lose. But I mean I went to physiotherapy. I could take ibuprofen to get rid of it but then that irritates my stomach and as soon as the ibuprofen wears off, my headache was back. I wanted to get rid of it permanently. I mean if your family doctor was the only one who knew exactly what to do with you. Why were all these other doctors around? I mean somewhere out there, there has to be an answer.
[Interviewer]
What was that like for you, what was the initial appointment and first adjustment? And how you did after that? What does that transition like? What did you experience when you started there?
[Linda]
The first appointment because I had so many problems with my back, I was ready to throw up, I was so nervous. But everybody here put me quite at ease. After the first adjustment it was so nice to lay down, have such a horrendous headache. And wake up and I didn’t have one when they walked out the door. Let me tell you it was awesome. After I started care here, he would come in even at night before we go to bed. Do you have a headache? I would say “No”. I get up in the morning, do you have a headache? We had such an exciting life. And I would say, “No”. He’s ecstatic because he even had. He says, “Linda I could look at you and see you had a headache and you just crawled out of bed”. Nobody should have to live with somebody who has a headache all day long because they could be cranky.
[Interviewer]
Obviously what we do is very different, you know what I mean. So what is it that you would say to someone who says I have tried chiropractic like you had. I’ve tried everything under the sun and this is just the way it’s got to be. What would you say to someone like that?
[Linda]
You’re giving up too easily. There’s somebody out there that’s got to be able to help you. And I truly believe if you don’t have anything at the top where it’s supposed to be. How can anything go on all the way down be in the right order?
[Interviewer]
That’s pretty good. Anything else you’d like to add?
[Linda]
I heartily suggest anybody who’s having a problem to come see somebody where ever they may be at Upper Cervical Care. Because if you don’t get the top ones taken care of, the rest of them won’t fall in line, in my opinion.
