Cure a Migraine For Some

5 or 6 years ago I started getting severe migraines which could put me down for 3 or 4 days. Usually, a quarterly visit to the emergency room, very sick. I started becoming allergic to many foods and whatever else would end in a really bad migraine. The list is long.

After going to every doctor known to man, I thought, I was at a hospital where my wife was just getting a blood test.

I happen to start talking to a doctor and migraines came up. She, after swearing me to secrecy, told me she had daily migraines as well until she went to an Atlas Orthogonal, a chiropractor who works on the atlas. She said, many neck injuries occur in surgery as a result of anesthetic as they crank your neck in all kinds of places. Well, I had knee surgery 6 years ago

So, I easily found one and went to one who appeared to have really good credentials. The first thing my doc said is I can tell you immediately if you are a candidate after I take x-rays which cost about $300. They took extensive x-rays of the bottom of the skull and the entire spinal cord. My atlas was literally dislocated along with a likely lower back fracture that healed, probably from football. It hurt from time to time as well.

He said I can probably help you, most people within 2 weeks, but you are so bad I need 2 to 4 weeks. He uses a $200k machine that shoots out light or something. The first thing he said, doesn't this look like a fraud and you won't feel a thing.

Bottom line, in two weeks, I had a 50% improvement and 70% after 4 weeks where I am now. And, the migraines are only 2 to 5 max when I get one, not 8, 9 or 10s. Completely unbelievable, a minor miracle at a minimum. The pain level was close to I can't take this anymore to I am happy. Now, you have to keep the atlas in place and this is where you hope to stretch it out for months, and then even years. I am not there but I am in a perfectly livable place now where I can go have it put back. Everybody will be different.

If you have tried everything else, give this a try. And, keep in mind that you could have been in a car accident or suffered a football injury or just a bad fall. I don't care if you haven't had any accidents, it is worth a shot, maybe you slept badly and cranked your neck.

One more thing, you can not tell me our doctors, neurologist, etc. has never heard of this.

Hope it works for some of you.

Good luck!
