Title: Chiropractors
Post by KenB on Jun 12^th, 2003, 10:54am

Just wanted to give you my experience of Chiropractic Treatment. I was getting Cluster Headaches regularly for about 2 and a half years. While living in Palm Desert for 18 months I was advised to try a Chiro. I went to one, explained why I was there, had a course of about 6 adjustments and was pain free for over 5 years. My Cluster came back about a week ago so now I'm back to the Chiro (in Ireland this time) - fingers crossed we will have success again!

Hey Ken,

Congradulations on your previous success and pulling hard for you to have the same results again.

You are the first I've heard to have success with chiropractic. Hoping you go 2 for 2.

My arthritic, misaligned neck usually becomes much worse with a bout of CH, and a few trips to the chiropractor help me to keep flexible. I personally haven't found that chiropractic prevents or reduces the clusters, but that's just my experience. Great if it works for you!!

Never had any luck with the chiropractors for HA's. He claimed to be able to stop em, never did ::)

I tried this about 12 years ago. I went into the chiro WITH a CH, he did an adjustment and BAM - the CH was Gone!! I thought I had found my cure ;D

Of course, about 6 hours later I got hit again :-/ I continued going to the chiro the entire cycle and it never helped again.

Why do I have so many things on my "don't help" side and hardly anything on my "help" side ???
