Story of Hope for Jess

Challenge: Migraines

When Jess started care at Crossroads Chiropractic, she wasn’t sure chiropractic was going to help her. She is currently an athletic trainer and her sister is in school for physical therapy. Transparently, she is also Dr. Kent’s cousin so she really just showed up to support her family.

During her consultation, our team discovered that Jess has been dealing with migraine headaches every since she was little. The migraines would get to the point where she would be incapacitated for a day (or multiple days) until the episode would resolve. The migraines were truly affecting her daily life because they would come on sporadically and it would completely shut her down when they happened.

She told us her previous routes to find relief had been OTC medicines like Advil or sleeping 10+ hours. Since she had been dealing with them for so long, she was extremely skeptical that chiropractic care could help.

When we asked her to reflect on her first assessments she told us, “I was shocked to see that my body was so subluxated and this is causing all these issues.”

After starting chiropractic care, she said that her migraines had transitioned to just being headaches which is much more manageable. She stated she can, “at least be functional” which is huge progress, especially since her job as an athletic trainer for a local college requires her to be on her feet and ready to go at a moment’s notice.

She also let us know that when she feels a headache coming on, getting adjusted ASAP helps her recover faster and decreases the amount of interference to her daily life.
