Tagged As: Chronic Headache Information Treatment

Question:
I am an italian girl (23 years) and I have a disperate need in information. As a consequence of a street accident I suffer of migraine, chronic headache and other syntomphs since 3 years and 6 months ago. My life was totally changed by this problem. I can't study, I can't do sports and a lot of other things. Together with my family I always try to find a solution tryng many differents terapies in Italy and in different part of Europe. No results. I took a lot of pills and then I understood that the problem was focused on a mechanical level, around neck (where I have pain). so I went to many ostheopatic and chiropratic practitioners with very few benefits. However I am sure that this field is the right one. Looking for in internet we found out an intersting site (erinelster.com) and other correlate sites about the upper cervical care. Now I'm quite ready to try to go in this center but, you Know, the travel and the stayng there for me is not a joke for economical and health problems. So what I'm tryng to ask you is: if you can give me information on the value of this doctor, or of this kind of chiropratic care(in the sites they explained that is really different from the other practiotioners). Here, in Europe nobody knows something about this therapy or the doctor's pubblications and many practitioners giong on to consider it like an advertising site, not a medical good therapy. Please, if you can, help me because i try to look for opinions in web site but I can't read much letters. This is a great hope for me and You can't immagine how often I think about your land (america) as the land in which I could find again my health and my happiness. Thank you very much,

Answer:
Although injuries can be the root cause of some headaches, when practitioners offer a treatment that can seemingly cure millions of people, of hundreds of different ailments all with one common treatment, it is most often not true. I would guess that this treatment can help some people but it probably won't be much different than the chiropractic care you have already received. One thing we are known for here in the States is, overstating our case. ;-) The simple fact that this person claims to be able to cure cluster headaches through this manipulation leads me to believe that overstatement of her case is probable, to put it lightly. I would also venture a guess that 50% of migrainers have been through similar treatments and 99% of them are still migraine patients. This is not meant to dampen your spirits.
