Neurologist advises: "whatever you do, DONT see a chiropractor"

history
Severe, unbearable head pain on bending forward, sneezing or coughing.
Laughing caused severe head pain.
3 attacks of debilitating vertigo in 4 months.
Robyn was referred by her chiropractor to me after a neurologist advised her (as they do) of the danger of having her neck twisted by a chiropractor. We wont get into the details of the documented dangers of drugs used for this problem - like Nurontin, Epilem, Lyrica, Tegretol - suffice to say that there are many chiropractors who do not twist necks like amateurs. For more information see my site www.chiropracticsafety.com.au .
There are also neurologists that recommend trying upper cervical chiropractic, see here.
Robyn was, as they say, at her wits end as she had tried physiotherapy, acupuncture, chiropractic, massage and all the regular medical specialist to rule out life threatening disease.
Thank goodness the medical specialists are there to save lives in emergencies, but they do not generally refer patients to chiropractors because of an odd prejudice in the medical profession.
Robyn has now got her normal life back after 3 adjustments with the specific Atlas Orthogonal Upper Cervical adjusting program.
Luckily her chiropractor in Sydney saw a place for this specialised procedure within chiropractic, and I thank him also. Robyn has actively referred others for AO and insisted that this page be placed on my site.
Duration:

  • 3 Years
  • Intervention:
  • Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic Techique
  • Risks
  • There was a substantial bout of vertigo after the first adjustment which I warned Robyn could occur. I felt that influencing the position of the head would bring about a reaction from the balance system, as I have seen this before in patients. After a day she was fine. The warning and disclosure of all possible scenarios helped her through this. Also, it was nothing more than she'd been used to, to date. Her supportive spouse also was a great help.
  • Outcomes:
  • No debilitating head ache since 3rd visit. Longest time without frequent headache, nausea, vertigo in 3 years after AO care.
  • Comments
  • Medical Diagnosis can be such an odd, subjective, transient thing indeed.
  • Was it Vertigo? Meniere's Disease? Was it stress? Like most people I see stress is a part of our lives, and its easy to blame these sorts of problems on such matters of life. But do not discount the fact that atlas vertebra is a supremely influencial area in controlling pain.
  • Thanks Robyn, for your patience and interest in getting this message OUT there.
  • Another fascinating story of a facial pain sufferer appears here at whattimetuesday.com . Its the story of a trigeminal neuralgia sufferer who got relief just before he pulled the trigger to kill himself. You can buy his short book at that site also.
