Question
Hi,

I was wondering if you could suggest perhaps if I am doing the right thing or if I should try see a different kind of specialist.

I fell down the stairs (about 13) in Dec 2008, I was knocked out for a few seconds and there was no visible damage. I have suffered from chronic daily headaches since (diagnosed by a neurologist). I have been seeing a chiropractor since about April 2009. My back has suffered greatly since the fall and she also dose cranial work. I have tried various medications to help reduce the headaches but nothing worked. I feel that my body is only temporarily fixed by the chiropractor. Is there anything else I could be trying?

Thank you for any advice

Answer
Megan,

I would get a second chiropractic opinion. Try to find a chiropractic neurologist who utilizes (EWOT) exercise with oxygen therapy. Also try to find an upper cervical chiropractor.
To learn about exercise with oxygen therapy you can google it or go to my website www.drqdc.com. The neurology site is www.lifechangingcare.com. To find an upper cervical Chiropractor google NUCCA.

Hope this info helps and don't give up!!!!
