From Postpartum Headaches To Functioning Again

Just two days postpartum, Emily began experiencing debilitating headaches. 😩

She said, “Since I was not typically a ‘headache-person,’ I did an extensive workup with my traditional medical team. When every scan, test, and medication failed to change my pain, I was left feeling hopeless and scared. I went from a very active and involved mom, wife, and nurse to being basically couch-bound. I was unable to engage fully in my life as I felt my old ‘normal’ life slipping away from me.”

After seven months of daily pain and trying every medical specialist and multiple different types of chiropractors, she found Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic. “Hearing about the ‘Perfect Storm’ made perfect sense for my situation and symptoms. I finally felt like we were going to address the root and give me my life back.” ❤️

Early on, she began noticing progress. “The adjustments allowed me to move my body more regularly without causing increased pain flares. While the adjustments would often cause a slight increase/change in pain shortly after, I would often have longer stretches of decreased pain. After having daily pain for over 7 months, I was so relieved to see that these adjustments were actually making a change in my body.”

Now she says, “I still have pain that is changing and evolving daily, but I feel supported with a plan. I went from feeling hopeless and without direction to hopeful with a plan.” 💪🏼

Emily’s determination is such a reminder to never stop searching for answers — and for the doctor and team who will truly listen, dig deep, and help you find your way back to healing.
