I know of two people who suffer from this very painful problem. Both of them have refused to take the drugs their doctors prescribed. Both go to an Upper Cervical Chiropractic Doctor. These doctors are NOTHING like the regular chiropractor. There is NO popping, twisting or hanging from contraptions from the celing to help separate the vertebra, etc.
I do not know if there is one in your area, but I suggest you trying to locate one close. One friend found IMMEDIATE relief with less & less reoccurance over a one year period. The other required more frequent visits, but the most IMPORTANT thing to remember is do NOT give up going. Many things require time to heal & when there is a problem that reoccures, like sciatica there can be damage that requires TIME!!!!
After blowing out my knee sometime ago, I started having migraine headaches ALL the time. My right hip was about 4 inches higher that the left & my left shoulder was about 3 inches higher than my right. When my Upper Cervical doctor took the x-rays & did her eval. she asked me had I been in an auto accident because my back was so out of whack. I had to have monthly adjustments for a full year before the right side of my back caught up with the left & started doing it’s own job. Before that, the left side was having to over compensate for the right side not being able to function properly. I now have NO more migraines & I walk & sit & everything with my body being in alignment & placing EQUAL body weight on BOTH sides.
Contact the NATIONAL UPPER CERVICAL CHIROPRACTIC RESEARCH ASSOCIATION, INC. 217 W. 2nd. St. Monroe, Mi. 48161. I would imagine there is a website, but I have never needed to look it up since we have a U.C.C. doctor here who can answer my questions. Request a patient guide & whatever other information they can provide.
Good Luck to you. Just remeber that once you begin seeing a U.C.C. doctor, it is VERY IMPORTANT to "CONTINUE" until "THEY" say not to. If they tell you to have follow-up appts. MAKE THEM!!! Just because you feel better does NOT mean your are healing or healed. And, remember to follow their instructions, it is important to keep the adjustment as long as possible. After each one the healing continues. I hop you are able to find one of these types of doctors.
